...first two days of the 20-race, three-day regatta were sailed in three to five knot winds, which gave a large advantage to sailors with local knowledge. Both of Princeton's two skippers hail from the Newport Beach area and, indeed, the regatta headquarters was established on the lawn of one of the Princeton women's home...
...week's end Nixon took to the road to sell his side of the transcript story to the public. His first stop was Phoenix, Ariz., where his audience of 13,000 at a Republican fund raiser was mostly friendly. But shouts of "Hail to the thief!" and rhythmic clapping from a handful of hecklers in the balcony rattled Nixon. His voice quavered, his hands tightly gripped the flower-bedecked lectern, and he occasionally mispronounced words.

But the commercial loss to the theater wasn't even offset by the full-house receipts from King of Hearts next door. "There are very few theaters now that can show a film like that," says Robert St. George '64, manager of Harvard Square, Central, and Brattle...
...they'd miss the essential point. Presidents need not be intellectuals. They should be decent people, and it's on these grounds that Ford has apparently won widespread popularity. In fact, dismayed by the indictments of most of President Nixon's top aides, some trend-setters have been hailing Ford as the best idea since the Model T. "GOP Begins to Rally Around Ford; Growing Crowds Hail New Boldness," said the headline in yesterday's New York Times. Massachusetts Governor Francis W. Sargent was the latest liberal politico to announce that the country would be better off with Ford...
