Harvard began the romp with a win in the 400-yard medley relay, an event the Crimson does not usually win. Shrout, Bob Hughes, Pete Adams, and Dan Thompson piled up four quick firsts and, with the meet out of reach for Columbia, Brooks began to use his reserves. With Chalfie out, Columbia won its first event in the 200-yard fly. Sophomore Terry Flanagan substituted for Birch in the backstroke and went a 2:18.3, no record, but good enough for a Crimson first. After John Bragg won the 500-yard freestyle, Brooks benched breaststroker Carl Cummins and Columbia...
...malaise are abundant. Because its sterling is tarnished, Britain has been forced to deflate and then devalue, causing its citizens to pay more for what they buy from the rest of the world. The dollar is also under assault. Betting that its value will decline, some cautious bankers and quick-profit speculators are selling dollars for gold at a rapid rate. The hemorrhage of U.S. gold has become alarming-nearly $1 billion in the past two months-and last week President Johnson took some stern actions to stop it (see THE NATION and BUSINESS). It is obvious that for some...
...five quick years as discoverer-manager of the Beatles, fledgling Impresario Brian Epstein made $14 million, lived with a valet in a town house around the corner from Buckingham Palace, and adopted opulence as a way of life. He made so much money that not even high spending and Britain's high taxes could drain it all. When he died last summer at 32 of an overdose of barbiturates, Epstein left an estate of about $1,200,000, which after taxes and debts comes to $638,400. Epstein had no will, and the money will go to his mother...
...petition also urges de-escalation of the war. On this matter Professor Reischauer's in-consistency is somewhat less blatant, for the scholars' statement does include a suggestion that U.S. policy ought to "show a capacity for innovation of a de-escalatory nature." But Reischauer and friends are quick to reassure us that "such steps need not--indeed, should not--be massive." In fact, the only specific recommendation in the statement is that "an increasing emphasis must be placed upon 'seize and hold,' rather than 'search and destroy' operations." One wonders whether Professor Reischauer really believes that such "de-escalation...
...they will hold their own up front. Middle linebacker Dan Connors is not as ostentations as the Pack's Ray Nitschke but he does the job. And Oakland's defensive backfield is every bit as good as Green Bay's! Willie Brown, Kent McLoughan, and Dave Grayson are quick, man, quick. Lance Alworth and Don Maynard had some success against Oakland, but they are the only ones, and Green Bay has no receiver who resembles them. The only player in the game who can match Maynard's moves is Oakland's Fred Biletnikoff...
