Once again it was clear that the words of historic figures dealing with both minor and momentous events had been preserved while only the President was aware that every comment, however unkindly phrased or crudely expressed, might one day be revealed. The names on the Kennedy logs evoked an eventful era: General Douglas MacArthur, former Presidents Harry Truman and Dwight Eisenhower, then Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson, U.N. Ambassador Adlai Stevenson, Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara, Secretary of State Dean Rusk and General Maxwell Taylor, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff...
TONY VISONE, one of the more consistent Harvard hockey players of late, tallied one assist in last Monday night's 6-5 Beanpot consolation loss to North-eastern. The single point was only minor consolation for the Crimson wing, who celebrated his 20th birthday on Monday. He had several good opportunities to give himself and his teammates an even bigger present--a birthday goal--but couldn't put the puck in the net... Harvard's fourth-place finish in this year's Beanpot marks the third straight year that the previous champion has dropped all the way to fourth...
...NEILL CLAN of North Cambridge has been better weeks than last. In Washington, dad "Tip" got lambasted by the President in their annual tussle over budget cuts.

A 1979 graduate of the Harvard Business School, Cunningham had jumped from a relatively minor post to vice president in a little over a year. Agee, who had just been divorced from his wife of 23 years, strongly insisted to the board of directors at the time that there was no romance involved, and he publicly said that they were just "very close friends." Cunningham went...
...damage-control squad will doubtless be joined by groups with well-honed sexual biases to apply to the problem. Some image-conscious gays may blanch at the sight of Older Woman Donnelly making a pass at a minor, which is what Hemingway is at the beginning of their four-year affair, and they are not going to care for Writer-Director Towne's deromanticized view of the romance either. Neither are determined heterosexuals, who like to turn situations like this into tragedy-everyone tortured by irresistible forces, guilts and a society that misunderstands and condemns. Towne seems to shrug...
