...losing season; he thinks in terms of being undefeated. The harriers completed their third such season a few weeks ago, and at least a few people noticed. They were less than awe-inspiring in the important national meets just held. so they haven't always performed at the high levels they are able to. but it was only on two days. With talent, work, and a real unity they did prove themselves to be among the top few teams in the country before the discouraging finales...
Fictional Rate. That pressure last week brought a further rise in interest rates from their already towering levels. High-grade utility bonds were offered in Wall Street at a record 8.9% yield. William F. Butler, vice-president of the Chase Manhattan Bank, says that banks are refraining from raising their 81% prime rate on business loans only because they fear "the wrath of Congress."

Uprooted trees, torn chunks of pavement and twisted iron fences bestrew the roadsides. Some families are living in tents on their front lawns...
Little reconstruction has begun because many insurance companies have been slow at settling the larger damage claims. Most property insurance covered wind, rain, or lightning damage, but not destruction caused by high tides or waves. Former homeowners and businessmen are caught between the precise wording of their insurance policies and the difficulty of proving that wind caused most of the damage to their property before high water floated the debris away. "Many of my people saw their houses blown away, but the insurance companies say this isn't so," says Chalin Perez, president of the Plaquemines police jury...
