...February, coach Edo Marion's fencers were at a low point and were settled in last place with an 0-2 record as the prepared to face league-leaders Princeton. Two sophomores, Geza Tatrallyay and Larry Cetrulo, were triple winners, and Cliff Rudermann and Tony Abbott also contributed key wins to give the Crimson a 15-12 triumph...
With no depth of characters, Zero is simply cold and bizarre. At one point two of the kids' leaders have occupied a roof and are pelting some adults' smorgasbord below. Vigo cuts from extreme low-angle to extreme high-angle, generating terror and fascination. The distance between the opposed parties, the height of the weaker and the ridiculous helplessnes of the stronger, the antic behavior of both are pure fantasy and, being pure, have no content whatsoever.

...Nissan Motor Co.'s Datsun, both priced below $2,000, are now familiar sights. Last year, 110,000 Japanese cars-more than twice as many as in 1967-went to American buyers. Now two more manufacturers have entered the U.S. market. Fuji Heavy Industries is offering its low-priced $1,300 Subaru, and Honda, already known for its motorcycles, is pushing a $1,400 minicar. A third manufacturer, Toyo Kogyo, expects to make its American debut later this year with a car equipped with twin rotary engines...
