Oddsmakers have installed the Tigers as a seven-point choice to win their second Ivy League game. This point spread seems a bit excessive, but nevertheless Princeton wins our nod to take today's game--and the Ivy title. For one thing, the Tigers have traditionally been a good early-season team. Their single-wing offense is relatively simple to operate, so they make fewer mistakes than their opponents. In a game as tight as this, one break could make the difference...
...every day, or every year, that a company gets a $2 billion contract in one swoop. Last week California's Lockheed Aircraft did-for construction of the world's largest transport plane, the C-5A. After months of deliberating over three proposals, the Defense Department gave the nod to Lockheed, whose bid for building 58 of the planes was lower by $250 million than the next lowest bid. Lockheed thus nosed out two tough competitors-Boeing and Douglas-to snare the aerospace industry's prize of the year. It will deliver the first...
Preparations really began in 1957, when then-Mayor Nathan Phillips launched an international design contest for the new city hall, which drew 520 entries from 42 countries. Five distinguished judges, including the late Eero Saarinen, finally gave the nod to Helsinki's Viljo Revell, and for good reason. Architecture was then struggling free from the glass and steel web of anonymous buildings popularized by Mies van der Rohe. With the inspiration of Le Corbusier's massive concrete government buildings in Chandigarh and Niemeyer's skyward-lofting Brasilia, architects at last felt free to conceive of civic structures...
Departing a scant 21 hours earlier was Premier Nguyen Cao Ky, who might have been expected to wait around and say hello to the new U.S. ambassador−or at least nod in passing. No one was surprised at his absence, however, for Ky has long been sensitive to the growing U.S. presence in his country, loses no opportunity to vehemently affirm his independence. Lodge's arrival happened at a convenient time for Ky to take off on the second leg of an image-building trip to Formosa and Thailand...
Aaent 8¾%. To make a contemporary spy thriller without sneaking in a nod to James Bond would apparently be an unthinkable breach of custom. In Agent 83A, the amenities are ticked off with ease when Robert Morley, as an epicene intelligence chief, routes Bond's records into a file drawer marked "Deceased." That takes care of 007, but leaves 8¾% with only fractional assets...
