Perhaps the most famous blind student in the world is Harold E. Krents, Harvard graduate and second-year Harvard Law student. Hal won international reknown when he was classified 1-A by Local Draft Board 10 in Mount Vernon, N.Y. last spring. Hal said he would be glad to serve his country in any way possible, but hoped he'd be able to request the post of bombardier.

It is still hard to say whether the proposed route should be changed, but Boyd was at least willing to listen to local complaints and suggestions. Nothing in Volpe's performance as governor or his what-makes-Sammy-run desire for ac-complishment suggests he will be as accommodating.
