...fall of 1970, John Jr. began classes at Highland Park High School, where his sister was a senior. That year Diane Hinckley apparently burst forth as a campus star; she performed in a school operetta, she was head cheerleader, homecoming queen candidate, vice president of the choir, member of both the student council and the A-students' National Honor Society. There are at least ten pictures of her in the yearbook, which cited her as one of the class's eight "favorites." She was a formidable sibling presence for Sophomore John...
...prodigy will be joining other stellar incoming freshman like Marybeth Linzmeier and Stephanie Elkins at Stanford next year, and he hopes that this new blood will help propel the Cardinals past the Texas Longhorns next year in the AIAW Championships.

The Queen took the news well, but no better than the President of India, who was greeted at an airport...
...placed by the brain into a grammatical framework before it is expressed-this in spite of the fact that she works with college students. A grammatical framework was part of Walter Annenberg's trouble when, as the newly appointed U.S. Ambassador to Britain, he was asked by the Queen how he was settling in to his London residence. Annenberg admitted to "some discomfiture as a result of a need for elements of refurbishing." Either he was overwhelmed by the circumstance or he was losing his mind...
