Ushering in the premiere festivities, Dennis F. Gillespie '70 glamorized the life of a "Love Story" extra for this month's Glamour- offering faithful readers a brief respite from "50 New Ideas for Holiday Hair, Makeup, and Fashion" and "What Goes on in His Head When You're Pregnant...
MOST public interest in basic science research falls on individual experiments and the men who perform them.

Newspaper stories about the isolation of the gene, genetic engineering, and "the secret of life itself" arouse the public's curiosity, and recent major advances in cancer and leukemia viral research excite even medical professionals.

John Kinsella, 18, and Mark Spitz, 20, set new standards for freestylers, Kinsella in the 400 and 1500 meters, and Spitz in the 100-meter glamour race with a steaming 0:51.941. World marks in the 200-meter breaststroke and the 200-meter backstroke fell, respectively, to Brian Job, 18, and Mike Stamm, 18. Alice Jones, 18, led the girls by breaking world records in both the 100-and 200-meter butterfly. Nonpareil Debbie Meyer, 18, broke...
