...rain contraptions are often so heavy and cumbersome that it is hard to see what advantage they offer over the oiled linen cape. Pieces of leather or waxed cotton are tightly stretched over a spokelike array of rattan or whalebone ribs; the ribs are attached by wires and hinges to a central rod so that the covering can be opened out or collapsed at will. It rarely works as planned. The ribs often lose elasticity when wet and crack when dried...
...Kennedy '40. Fathers Six allows the jukebox to play hellishly loud, and while the favorite place for freshmen and other youngsters, is sufficiently worried to check i.d.'s at the door.

Slightly more than a. year ago, I was in Washington to present a special leather-bound copy of our first Bicentennial issue, Independence!, to President Ford.

Ford's own lieutenants admit that his support is lukewarm and concentrated among moderates with erratic voting habits. Reagan's hard conservative core will vote...
...soccer is attracting thousands of families like the Days. In 1964 the American Youth Soccer Organization started in Torrance, Calif, with 100 boys and nine teams. Today the association has 4,100 teams in 14 states and 62,000 kids, including 15,000 girls, booting the checkered, leather balls across the turf. The U.S. Soccer Federation estimates that more than half a million youngsters play organized soccer and projects 3 million...
