...arguments Baird advances are some-what more subtle and interesting. During the year, Harvard and Radcliffe students have enough time to "learn the ropes" and develop a sense of continuity. During the summer, girls do not have this sense of continuity and probably don't feel the restraints from "peer group sanctions" either. The result of a liberal policy would be that a group of relatively sheltered girls would arrive at Harvard and be unleashed. They wouldn't know how to use this freedom properly, Baird adds...
...Germany in history's first two-nation collaboration on a major military weapon. It will be too heavy to swim, but will nonetheless be able to crawl under wa ter, like a crawdad, on river, lake or ocean beds, traverse steeply slanting terrain and raise its turret to peer over hills and walls. It is air-conditioned and insulated against atomic radiation. The first experimental model is scheduled for completion next summer...
...pitcher must be judged not by the number of different pitches in his repertoire, but by his effectiveness, particularly in "clutch" situations. Sandy has no peer in this department today; it is unlikely that there has ever been anyone to match him on that score. Nor is it fair to state that Koufax gets his "kicks out of setting strikeout records," any more than it would be fair to say Joe Louis got his kicks out of knocking opponents down. Marichal is a fine pitcher, but Koufax is a living legend...
...year is a trifle compared with the need for the "proper credentials"). Time: a weekday night. After a late, after-the-theater supper with friends at Annabel's, London's leading discothèque (which happens to be right downstairs), the handsome son of a peer breezes up for "a spot of chemmy." Chairs are found for his group to watch; drinks are passed. In three hours, playing with flair, he wins $210,000. Satisfied, but not flaunting his coup, he departs. But before the chauffeur can wheel his Bentley out from all the others, the Right Honourable...
Last month Benenson was in Rhodesia bringing suit to reverse the summary deportation of the London Observer's correspondent. This week Amnesty is sending a 25-year-old Labor peer, Lord Gifford, to discuss with Hungary's Communist officials the recent arrest of 20 Roman Catholic priests and 50 workers on flimsy charges of agitation against the state...
