Harvard's top doubles team of Katie Ditzler and Meg Meyer also did well in the tournament reaching the semi-finals before succumbing to Podolsky and Loeffler from Dartmouth, 6-4, 6-3. Seeded fifth, Martha Roberts fended off match point in the third round to qualify for the quarterfinals, where second seed Jean Osachuck of Mt. Holyoke bettered...
...three-year reorganization was run by a court-appointed trustee, Robert Loeffler, a lawyer and former senior vice president of Investors Diversified Services, a mutual-fund complex. Loeffier supervised the settling of $400 million in claims, appointed a new board of directors, and resigned. The company, operating under the name of Orion, is now based in New Jersey and run by Alan Gruber, a former Xerox executive. It still sells insurance through two healthy companies acquired by Equity. It emerged from reorganization in March, and last month its stock began trading publicly again after a long suspension. The company turned...
When Marion tried the ruse last September, a Budapest cop told her sharply: "You know very well you never lost your passport. You had better tell us the truth-we know the game pretty well." Marion confessed. Huivenaar had hired her in Amsterdam, she said.

The girl escaped safely, but Marion drew a six-month prison term. She was lucky...
Only the Naive. Her two compatriots were not so fortunate. Van Bennekom and Sternau are still in an East German prison. Their story was much the same as Marion's. After reaching an agreement in Amsterdam with Huivenaar, they were taken to West Berlin last April, introduced to Loeffler for final instructions, then taken to East Berlin. There, at the Hotel Sofia, they gave their passports to one of Loeffler's accomplices, who passed them on. When the two Dutch boys reported to police that their passports had been lost, they were arrested immediately, because the documents already...
Once the two youths are released, West Berlin's prosecutor's office will go after Loeffler. Though there is something to be said for those who help refugees escape, Loeffler's passport swap is a strictly commercial venture, just as his earlier schemes were. A Berlin prosecutor estimates that he grossed $50,000 in one two-year period. Berlin police are sure that the cynical Loeffler knows precisely what will happen to his dupes, mostly naive Western youngsters, and want to put him out of business...
