Catliff has amassed five goals and two assists in his first two games. Last season's leading scorer, Lane Kenworthy, recorded six goals and three assists--in 15 contests. If he continues at his present pace, Catliff could threaten Harvard's single-season goal-scoring mark of 18, set in 1971 by Felix Adedeji...

...role of Bill Snibson, the Cockney peer, was originally a star turn for Lupino Lane, a comic mime of the '30s. Lindsay, seen in the U.S. as Edmund in Laurence Olivier's TV King Lear, proves an inspired successor. He has mastered the stereotypical Cockney's accusatory inflections, rough humor, feral grace and odd parlor tricks, from a no-hands bobbing of his hat on his head to incessant, playful swiping of a bystander's gold watch. He brings vitality to such shopworn comedy as passing out, being revived and protesting, "Here! I didn't faint for water...

Seemingly out of nowhere, an AIM-9 Sidewinder air-to-air missile blew a 2 1/2- ft. hole in the ship's superstructure.

The 9-ft. projectile was apparently launched during training maneuvers...

Private roadways are common enough in the U.S., but private expressways are another matter. Last week a group of businessmen announced a plan to build a 200-mile, four-lane private toll road that would link the Colorado cities of Fort Collins and Pueblo. Since no Government funds would be used for the project, the road would be exempt from the federal 55-m.p.h. speed limit and would allow cruising at up to 80 m.p.h. Under the terms of an 1883 state law, private investors can, in some cases, gain the power of eminent domain to build a road...

...screen. Their style of show eventually went out of fashion. Their songs never did: Thank Heaven for Little Girls, If Ever I Would Leave You, They Call the Wind Maria, I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face. After Loewe retired in 1960, Lerner collaborated with composers including Burton Lane, Andre Previn, Leonard Bernstein and Charles Strouse but never matched his achievements with Loewe...
