...member of Kappa Sigma I have nothing to say in the defense of the actions of our late U.S.C. chapter [Sept. 28] and I would be ashamed if any K Sig did come to their defense. You rightly call Dick Swanson a victim, and I agree with his brother's indictment of the chapter's actions...

Meanwhile, the Russians were pushing ahead with ballistic missiles. By 1953, when a team of U.S. physicists headed by the late Hungarian-born John von Neumann devised a way of making a thermonuclear warhead small enough to be delivered by a ballistic missile of economic size, the Russians had a long head start in ballistic-missile development...

He had escaped death by inches...

The team dazedly lined up for the extra-point attempt. From the battered and bewildered aspect of the players you could tell that the try would succeed. The Crimson tried to mount an offense in the game's closing seconds, but the squad's determination was gone. As the gun sounded, Ravenel was tackled hard on an unsuccessful reverse...
