...February of 1930, Harvard President A. Lawrence Lowell proudly proclaimed, "There is no such thing as a Harvard type." Today more Harvard men represent the midwest and the far-west, but the University has yet to achieve recognition of its "type." While the movies and cigarettes and coca-cola grow bigger, the College Undergraduate still acts and thinks in his own private little way and a history of the final two years of today's reunion class could easily substitute for the last two of today's graduating class...
Local Gain. Until World War II, Sicily contributed far more to Italy than Italy ever gave back. "They grow fat up north with our money," is an old Sicilian com plaint.

Before he was five, he learned how to handle the wheel from his racing-driver father. Perched on papa's knee, little Alberto navigated the back roads of Milan, Italy, and the graceful curves of the old race track at Monza. By the time Alberto was seven, the elder Ascari was dead, killed in a crash at Montlhéry in the French Grand...
Benson has long been aware of the downgrading of U.S. wheat surpluses, but doing something about it has seemed an almost insoluble problem. Quality controls are highly complex to administer and would be a political headache, since many farmers can grow nothing but weak-gluten wheat...
