...long day the tracksters put in inside Barton Hall-the vacuous gym which Crimson hoopster Tom Mannix once cheerfully dubbed "the airplane hangar"--as trials began early yesterday morning and finals weren't over until well into the evening. Having just recently run against and beaten Ivy foes Brown, Dartmouth and Yale, the Crimson began the day with a certain amount of confidence, tempered somewhat by an equally recent shellacking at the hands of Princeton. But revenge just wasn't in the lineup yesterday as Harvard won the events it had previously won against the tenacious Tigers, but could...
Abruptly she decides to go roller-skating at the Roxy Roller Rink, a hangar-sized, strobe-lit, hard-rock hell just north of Manhattan's Greenwich Village, where she is capable of circulating for eight hours at a time.

Other losses flowed from the hotels that Summa owned but managed haphazardly, a company formed to promote blood-analysis devices, Football Today, and a worldwide fleet of 34 aircraft ready to answer the whims of Hughes and his staff. Said Lummis last week: "Hughes was a lightning rod for every disaster...
...cleared for release to join relatives who had fled Cuba years ago. All the while, more kept landing at Key West, to be bused from dockside to Key West Naval Air Station. There up to 5,000 waited, both inside and on surrounding concrete aprons of a huge airplane hangar, for other buses to Miami or airplanes to Eglin...
