Once outside, Liddy hopped into the driver's seat of his panzer tank. He was distressed to find a parking ticket tucked under the gunmount. At last, he unfolded the paper. It was a blind memorandum, a standard CIA message with no saluation, no signature. The message read...
...unofficial weight man's relay race proved to be the highlight of the afternoon. This event, somewhat like limiting the Indy 500 to Panzer tanks, pitted the behemoths of Harvard, Yale, and Princeton in a sprint relay. "It was the highlight of the meet. The only problem was with the staggered start. We could not tell where to start or how we did because our guys took up three lanes," McCurdy said with tongue-in-cheek...
Station wagons and six-wheel camping behemoths descended last week like panzer divisions on state and national parks and forests; private campsites, with such names as Jellystone Park and Winnebago Springs, had a higher population density than a Manhattan city block. "Roughing it in the wilderness," as a Delaware state recreation official put it, "is when the air conditioning breaks down." In Wisconsin last July 4th weekend, 16,000 state-operated campsites were 99.7% occupied. Asked if he knew of an unspoiled area for a backpacking trip, a veteran outdoorsman in Michigan replied, "You're asking that question...
...class was odd in a way and I've often wondered if it was simply Harvard. After all some of our class were less than two winters away from huddling in foxholes around Bastogne with their commander, in a very un-H-way, replying "Nuts" to the Third Panzer Army's demand for surrender. And some--of them had even seen Patton, plain. Or though a glass, darkly, pear-handled pistols, white bulldogs, boots, spurs and all, depending on how you saw the man. They don't have this kind around anymore, which is all part of what...
...former panzer officer with a doctorate in law, Krackow has worked for the Commerzbank, one of Germany's Big Three, and for British Investment Banker Siegmund Warburg. After shifting into industry, he became a successful doctor of ailing companies. Vogelsang recruited him four years ago to take charge of Krupp's weakest branch, its money-losing shipbuilding subsidiary, A.G. Weser. Under Krackow's management, the number of man-hours needed to produce a supertanker was cut by one-third, and Weser swung round from a loss of $8.5 million in 1968 to a profit of $4.7 million...
