Solem has replaced the gaping hole at fullback left by the graduated Angelo Insalaco -- who ran 55 yards to score against the Crimson--with the untried but willing Norman Anderson. Anderson, who can do 100 yards in 9.9 but weighs only 165 pounds, is a very tough man--once past the line of scrimmage. His replacement will be another sprinter, Granville Roman...

Secondly, Nixon denied. As newswires sizzled with the story that he had helped a trustee of his fund out of a tax hole, Nixon asserted that he had neither incurred or played off any obligation to his angels. Right or wrong, he missed the point. Private funds of this nature are essentially like free railroad passes and corporation checks in a candidate's bank account: they may be innocent in themselves, but the abuses that inevitably develop from such practices are as tainted as Mark Hanna's hat. Public opinion eventually forced the abolition of free railroad passes...

...seems too much like a morose Henry Aldrich. And in the same way, his mother, Irene Hervey, never become a real individual; she is always the doting and misguided parent.

So he cut a small hole in the rear of the eyeball and placed in it a disk of film about as big as a pea. When an object was held six inches away, the lens of the eye brought its image to a focus on the film. The aperture of this "camera," he figured, was somewhere between fI.9...

Even the most casual observer could tell that things were going to be very different this year after a first glance at Soldiers Field, on the very sunny September 4 morning. For besides the gaping hole in the North side of the stands where once the steel stands stood, there was an air of confidence, absent since 1949 when Harvard under Art Valpey was a strong pre-season choice...
