Deep in dejection, Oregon State's Coach Tommy Prothro showed up at a booster luncheon to explain why the finest football team in the school's history had an indifferent 5-3 record.

Careless Diva. The girl in the case was Turkish Opera Singer Ayhan Aydan, now a plumpish, red-haired 36. In 1951, just after her divorce from Ankara State Orchestra Conductor Ferit Alnar, Ayhan caught the eye of Menderes at a luncheon party. She was then a svelte 27, he a handsome and roving-eyed 52.

...Byrd, who has stubbornly refused to endorse his party's ticket, and all but urged his supporters to vote for Nixon and Lodge.

And intelligent, articulate diarists are the very worst kind: they couple their love of the language with their imagination and usually produce...
...rural Michigan mail carrier, Postmaster General Arthur E. Summerfield, 61, blossomed as co-author of a book that he once wished he could lay hands upon: U.S. Mail: The Story of the United States Postal Service (Holt, Rinehart & Winston; $5). In Manhattan for an author's luncheon, Summerfield admitted that his favorite game is Post Office, proved that he is still an addressee at heart. Said he wryly: "It's difficult to explain why a piece of mail-a letter, a postcard-has not been delivered in due time. But often the delay is because...
