...truck that Maude Smyth spotted belonged to N. M. Rothschild & Sons, a firm of merchant bankers. It was making routine deliveries of gold bullion to dealers about London when it stopped, as usual, to drop a bag of silver worth $14 at a small printing shop on Bowling Green Lane. As the guard who delivered the silver bag was walking back to his truck, he was hit from behind. Hearing the usual two-knock signal, his companions opened the roll-up door in the back. Instantly, their eyes were blinded by a liquid squirted from...
Harvard, in the lane closest to the Cambridge shore, led the two other varsity shells off the starting line. A three-quarters length lead opened up with only a quarter-mile gone. The Crimson was clearly in command, stroking at a very high 38 beats per minute before settling to 35 at the mile-and -a-half-to-go mark.

...policy for everyone. Excellent hotels have sprung up along the Dalmatian coast, especially at Split and Dubrovnik. Rates remain low ($14 a day, including meals), and additional private-enterprise restaurants are being encouraged. To speed tourists in and out, there are direct flights from Rome and a new, two-lane asphalt highway. Only drawback: in rushing the new road to completion, no guard rails were installed along nearly 400 miles of highway that winds hundreds of feet above the Adriatic...
