Transcribed shows had Big Radio-NBC and CBS-worried. Big Radio's power has always rested chiefly on its near-monopoly of famous entertainers. Last fall, Bing Crosby fled the fold. He recorded his weekly show, sold it to 208 ABC stations-and over the head of at least one big network to some of its member stations. Total Crosby stations: 400. The advantages: Bing can record the show any time he likes, can edit it before it reaches the air. If other big names followed Bing's lead, the big networks might lose control of their affiliates...
...from last year's victorious Yale race-Paul Knaplund at seven, and Mike Scully, at bow. Two more, Frank Strong and Jud Gale have never before rowed in competition at Harvard. Captain Bob Stone and Stu Clark, at four and two, have returned to the Bolles fold with only service on the 1942 Freshman crew behind them. Stroke Frank Cunningham's only Charles River tour of duty was with the 150's before the war. Dick Emmet rowed with the war-time informals...

Sometimes a woman would unlock the padlocked chain on which her dead husband's street clothes had been hoisted to the washroom ceiling. She would take the clothes down, fold them, and leave. But the room stayed quiet-so quiet at times that the distant tolling of church bells, the twitter of sparrows in the rafters, could be heard with startling distinctness...
...before yesterday, which may or may not be the first boat of tomorrow or next week, is distinguished by having three men amidships who have yet to row in competition here. Frank Strong, Bull Curwen, (brother of '42 stroke Bus), and Jud Gale are the newcomers to the Bolles fold and are sitting in slides numbered six, five, and three respectively. Frank Cunningham, erstwhile 150 pound ear, has been stroking the Varsity, while Paul Knaplund, as seven, Bob Stone at four, Stew Clark at two, and Mike Scully at bow fill out the rest of the boat, Knaplund and Scully...
