...with some more of his magic psyche, and if sophomore sensations Roy Shaw and Keith Colburn can shake their crippling injuries, Harvard might be in shape for the big win. In yesterday's meet Shaw failed to finish, and Colburn could only finish far back and in considerable pain. Colburn did make an encouraging gesture by outkicking a Yalie who tried to pass him in the stretch...
...Katharine Houghton, 22, and she got things going by demurely introducing her aunt. So much for Katharine Houghton. Her aunt turned out to be Katharine Hepburn, 60.

In words charged with pain and hurtling toward frenzy, Olivier vengefully announces that he wants a divorce in order to "unite my destiny with that of a woman who together with devotion to her husband will also bring into this household youth, and may I say, a little BUUU-TEEE!" Not beauty but a final stroke...
