...tone is the key to it all; it lets McPhee write in an unusually personal way. He begins an article about Loch Ness, home of the monster, by telling his readers that he and his wife and four daughters were sitting next to the Loch picnicking on "milk, potato sticks, lambs' tongues, shortbread, white chocolate, Mini-Dunlop cheese." Another article is about a basketball game McPhee played in some time ago. Another, about a white-water canoeing championship, spends much of its time talking about the kinds of canoes McPhee paddled in as a child and how he went about...
...Sanders Theatre. A concert by the Harvard Glee Club, President Bok. President Horner, and Dean Rosovsky. The Glee Club will sing "God Save Our President" by Gounod, various Renaissance motets, Loch Lomond or such like, and many football songs with vigorous four hands piano accompaniment.

As of Election Day, TIME's mail ran roughly 4 to 1 against Nixon, compared with his 60.7% majority of the popular vote...
...existence of such beasts in Loch Ness would not entirely strain credibility. Believers argue that large saltwater creatures could have been trapped in Scotland's lakes when they were cut off from the sea at the end of the last ice age. Doubters reply that it is by no means sure that Loch Ness was ever linked to the sea, that there is hardly enough food in the loch to support such leviathans and that in any case, there would have to be at least 20 animals in a breeding herd-too many for the imaginations of even...
