Under the McClellan committee's thumb last week was Dave Beck Jr., 36-year-old, balding facsimile of his egg-bald Teamster-boss father. The long-elusive Junior lost no time on the amenities, plopped his 210-lb. frame into the witness chair, and settled right down to his pleas of possible self-incrimination under the Fifth Amendment. He gave his name and address, then began to sound like a tape recording of dear old dad. Beck's bad boy managed to run up 124 uses of the Fifth (papa topped 200), and in one burst of speed...
...that was about it for the Crimson. Amherst tied the score in the third and tallied again in the sixth, knocking out started Dom Repetto. Reliever Joel Bernstein stopped the visitors in that frame, but couldn't handle them the next inning, as they scored twice more to clinch the victory.

Today Henry Heald is in a position to influence the destiny of hundreds of institutions.

Whether they are semiabstract, magazine-cover American or postcard romantic, most of the unoriginal originals have the restful quality of being reminiscent without demanding a second glance...
Many have found a happy resting place in some of the nation's most expensive hotels, e.g., Las Vegas' Tropicana, Beverly Hills' Beverly Hilton, but they are notably inexpensive, $17.50 for the smallest, with frame, to $375 for the biggest. "I can sell for $125," says Lowitz, "what would go for $1,750 in a New York exhibition. Gallery owners and some painters hate me. They think I sell paintings too cheaply." But hotel decorators love him. Said one: "Usually we've spent so much money on everything else that there's not much left...
