...grimly and vowed, "I'm going to see the day when they'll be sorry they tore down those stands." Today, as the varsity football team takes the field against Yale, his determined promise will be fulfilled. Coming here when Harvard football was at its low ebb, Jordan has rebuilt the entire football organization, and losses by such scores as 47-7 are just a bad memory. Jordan has been sometimes unpleasant, often gruff, always close-mouthed, but he has always been honestly confident...
...years later the rest of the refectory was rebuilt, and the sandbags removed. But the mural was obscured by a newly formed crust of white mold, brought on by long contact with the rain-dampened sandbags. A fingertip touch would dent the pasty surface, and there seemed no way of removing the mold without flaking off the picture as well. The world had seen the last, apparently, of the Last Supper...
...Italy had 3,500,000 jobless or partially employed. The Reds controlled one-third of Italy's 2,735 communes. In those perilous postwar years, De Gasperi was a genius at compromise.

Called the Christina (after his wife), Onassis' floating palace is a 1,445-ton, 303-ft. Canadian destroyer escort (Stormont) rebuilt into a yacht at an estimated cost of $2,500,000. In the afterdeck is a marble swimming pool, with a mosaic floor that can be raised for dancing. In the lounge is a huge fireplace of ornamental lapis lazuli, while in the cozy barroom, decorated as an old sailor...
