...hail to Yale and the best of luck to Ed. Leader, if his crew goes to the Olympics this summer, but haven't you overlooked Chas. E. Courtney's record at Cornell 1885-1920 when you state in your May 14 issue that "no other coach has turned out as consistently fine crews as Leader...

They had been dancing an exuberant tarantella; they suddenly clattered into a noisy breakdown. They dropped without warning 5 to 40 points. American Telephone & Telegraph stock, one of the few important ones listed, not only did not wobble, but even rose during the week. But then directors had decreed $185,000,000 of new stock at par to shareholders. General Motors held unusually firm, considering that...
