...last major test before the Olympic trials in mid-July, Harvard fell quickly behind Vesper. At the halfway point on the Orchard Beach Lagoon course, Vesper held off a Harvard challenge, but the Crimson boat poured it on over the last 500 or 600 meters to win by a length and a half...
...Martin Luther King's final enterprise seems close to foundering. Resurrection City is an unhappy, unfriendly-and increasingly dangerous-collection of disparate groups of the poor. The National Capitol Parks Police estimate that 100 assaults and other violent incidents have occurred since the shacks were set up in mid-May, and at least 20 visitors have been robbed, beaten or stabbed outside the encampment fence. "There are rapes, robberies and cuttings every day," said Alvin Jackson, who resigned in anger last week as the camp's chief security marshal, "and there is nothing we can do about...
...Bite. Most taxpayers will begin to feel the measure's impact by mid-July. Because the increase for individuals is retroactive only to April 1, the increased bite for 1968 will really amount to 7½% (example: the $10,000-a-year man with wife and two children who paid $1,100 in taxes last year will pay an added $83.25 in 1968). Corporations, liable for the increase as of last Jan. 1, will pay the full additional 10% in taxes. Though the surcharge is supposed to run to next June 30, nobody would be surprised if it were...
...Mid-Air. Los Angeles' Ron Davis maintains that his 4-in.-thick slabs of tutti-frutti-colored fiber glass, cast in glossy, translucent and sometimes opalescent layers, are meant to be "about" nothing but "what colors are and where you put them." If a visitor suggests that Davis' flat shapes seem to hang away from the wall and look very much like twelve-sided swimming pools, Davis will protest that all he meant to depict was "the illusion of a dodecahedron." What makes the dodecahedron distinctively different is that it is shown as though seen from...
Hung Up. Partly reflecting such alarums and largely ignoring the fact that A.T. & T. profits ($2 billion last year) are at record levels. Bell stock has sagged to its lowest price since 1960. Between mid-1964, when the stock reached a peak of $75 a share, and last week, when it closed at $49.75, Bell's total market value declined $11 billion...
