...York City's difficult situation is further complicated by the fact that none of the services it provides (particularly the schools) are as good or as extensive as the civil servants who run them would like them to be.

Tidings, Wiechert's posthumous novel (first published in Germany in 1953) is the fruit of his musings...
Beset by accidents, the Crimson swimming team scored only three points in the National championship finals at Ithaca, N.Y. "It was a Big Ten tournament," Coach Bill Brooks said, "and none of the Eastern teams did very well...
