Regrettably, visitors often lose more than their minds. A charming but light-fingered people, Neapolitans relieve their guests of everything from cars and clothes to wallets and women. The police labor mightily but in vain. Last week 110 men accused of stealing hundreds of cars languished in jail as they awaited trial. Even in their absence, the theft of cars continues at a brisk thousand a month. One two-car Neapolitan family had its Fiat stolen in the morning, its brand-new Alfa Romeo in the afternoon. A Roman visitor found his car where he had parked it the night...
Esso engineers admit that their fuel cell is too heavy and feeble at present to have many practical applications, but they are confident that it will soon lose weight and gain power. Fuel cells may never compete with such large sources of electricity as coal-burning power stations, but they are candidates for smaller jobs in which convenience and efficiency are important. They may soon find a use in space, contributing valuable water as a byproduct along with their electricity. On earth they may provide cheap, quiet electricity for homes, weather stations or microwave repeaters beyond the reach of commercial...

McClung, Barry Williams, and Gene Dressler will have to share some of the offensive burden, or Harvard is going to lose. That's the lesson the Crimson quintet has been learning all season...
Your account in last Friday's Crimson of my talk on Vietnam to the Society of Harvard Dames was half-right, but your headline was 100 per cent wrong. The headline said: "Huntington Says U.S. Will Lose War in Vietnam." What I said was that we could not now or in the foreseeable future win the war in Vietnam. I also said that we could not afford to lose the war and that there was no reason why we had to lose the war unless the North Vietnamese were determined to push the conquest of the South at all costs...
