...match with Brandeis was clearly only a tuneup for Marton's swordsmen for the battle against Princeton this Saturday...
...first sign of improvement in the lot of Catholics came in 1967, when the immensely revered Hungarian bishop, Aron Marton, was released after enduring 18 years of prison and house arrest. Shortly thereafter, Rumanian Premier Ion Gheorghe Maurer paid a visit to the Vatican. Last March, Bishop Marton himself was finally allowed to visit Rome. Major, state-subsidized restoration has begun on the 13th century Catholic Cathedral of Alba Iulia.

Average citizens might well want a version to moor a boat or tow a car, the idea in both cases being to keep things apart as well as together. And Dr. Marton thinks his brainchild might make a big public impact from whence it sprang-as a toy. Flung out loose and then frozen, it makes a marvelously accurate lasso as well as tripper-upper and grabber-onto of things it wraps around. His two children have already demolished two of his homemade versions...
