blessed with a wife who is an heiress of a Detroit manufacturing fortune, but Jane Briggs Hart is a far cry from the oldfashioned, self-effacing ideal of a politician's helpmate. A member of NOW (the National Organization of Women), she flies a plane, runs a stud farm and speaks her mind. "The Catholic Church is racist, and its position on birth control is ridiculous," she once told a reporter, though she is herself a Catholic and the mother of eight. Her opposition to the Viet Nam War landed her in jail during the 1969 Moratorium demonstrations...

One itinerant painter, Worthington Wittredge, met the legendary scout Kit Carson in Santa...
Last weekend the varsity eight demolished in impressive fashion what had been touted as a powerful Princeton contingent. The Crimson took very little time to prove that, when the pressure is on. Princeton's lights are paper tigers of the highest order. Under ideal conditions on the Charles, Harvard left the Tigers far behind, winning by 8.9 seconds--a two-length margin, Harvard rowed a 6:02, recording the Crimson's fastest time of the season...
