...falls from high altitudes, as happened at Palomares. In that accident, two hydrogen bombs split open on impact and spilled plutonium, dusting nearby farms, which had to be tediously decontaminated. The same kind of low-level alpha radiation, officially described as "negligible," was discovered on the icebound bay off northwestern Greenland last week. The U.S. airmen who detected the radioactivity reached the blackened, 500-yd.-long crash site on Eskimo dog sleds, the only means available in the swirling snow and 50-m.p.h. winds of the dark Arctic winter...
...Papandreou and one of the most nettlesome critics of Greece's military junta, has decided to carry on elsewhere. Papandreou will return to the U.S., where he taught economics at Berkeley from 1955 to 1959, and will presumably accept one of the academic offers he has received from Northwestern, Brandeis and Berkeley. The U.S. Government is amenable to the plan (Papandreou's wife and four children are American citizens), and the junta is delighted. "He is the idol of the whole world, isn't he?" cracked Deputy Premier Stylianos Pattakos. "He may go where he pleases...

Bang No. 7 was far, far smaller, probably in the Hiroshima-bomb range of 20 kilotons. But it was no less menacing for being a minibang. Unless it was a partial dud-as Peking's unaccustomed silence...
...invited by Mr. Robert W. Galvin, Motorola Chairman, to debate the pros and cons of business. Letters exchanged between Mr. Sayre and Mr. Galvin and the other dialogists are being published throughout the school year in this and 20 other college papers. The other three dialogists are students at Northwestern, Princeton, and Stanford. Mr. Sayre describes a two-year course he took at a Diocesan Seminary as full and valuable. Football, baseball, drama, and student/national government are among his interests. He is majoring in government, minoring in speech. His career goal is law. The letter-exchange is part...
McCurdy expects the toughest competition to come from a Northwestern squad which fell to the Crimson in the season's second meet by a comfortable margin. But of course Colburn, Shaw, Hardin and McLoone all ran in that one. Tufts has at least two good competitors, Casely and Baldwin; and M.I.T. has the aforementioned unbeaten ace Wilson...
