...early afternoon it was cold and sunless. A very light, raw rain began to wash over Yale's gray stone. I walked down Broadway, the slightly sleezier, more tightly jammed Mass. Ave. of New Haven. Down Elm Street to the Old Campus where the freshmen live and where several coed games of frisbee and touch football dotted the quad. All over the campus there was something giddy in the air--like a giant joke that everyone was in on. Lots of smiling went on. People smiled at each other on the street and said hello for no reason.

...railroad mergers on a grand scale. National policy, the court noted, requires that railroads be allowed to unite into a "limited number of systems." In accord with the Supreme Court's doctrine, a special three-judge Federal District Court in Washington last week flashed a long-awaited green light for a merger that would create the nation's longest railroad...
This year, there will be even more money to be divvied around, since makers of both light-panel and pickup trucks (55% of the 16 million on the road) and of the vastly more expensive behemoths of the highways will benefit from better sales.

...drawings, watercolors and wash and chalk sketches of great master painters are rarely seen. They fade easily on exposure to light and so are customarily kept in museum storerooms, viewable only upon special appointment. A great pity, as this collection amply illustrates. The 300 selections present a remarkable range of style and subject and a surprising spectrum of soft colors (the chalks and washes) that often show off the sharp eye and skeletal strength of the artist better than works done in larger compass...
