...friend were two of 178 Americans who arrived in London last week from Atlanta on a gambling junket. They had come partly because they had never been to London and partly because, after Las Vegas, London has become the biggest gambling center in the world. So big, in fact, that a few clubs can now afford the Vegas gambit of flying in big gamblers, most expenses paid, and count on making a profit from the money their guests lose...
...island. The Turkish press blossomed with headlines when Kosygin promised the visiting Turks that the Kremlin would study ways to improve the living conditions of the hapless Turkish Cypriots. Though a new dollop of Soviet aid may come out of the trip, many Turks found Urguplii's junket to Moscow un settling.

Fortune, for one: his income from racing this year will top $230,000, and Edington Mains is busily in the black too, producing barley...
...into complacency by the Green's won-lost record either. Dartmouth lost its last 12 games last year, opened its season with a 73-65 win over Vermont, and now has lost seven straight. But look at their schedule: the Indians played Boston College in December, and on a junket through the Midwest over the holidays lost to Ohio State, Dayton, and Kentucky. That sort of a schedule would scare Princeton...
