Last week, after six of his scholarship students were shaken up in a 3 a.m. automobile accident, Athletic Director Henry ("Hank") Crisp decided that athletic dormitory regimen should be tightened still farther. Henceforth, decreed Hank, the occupants of Friedman Hall would have to observe a flat 11 p.m. weekday curfew (12:30 a.m. Sundays), apply to their coaches for weekend passes, do four hours of compulsory study instead of two on week nights if they lagged in studies. This was too much for the brawny 'Bamans. Above an entrance to the dorm appeared a sign: "Don't talk...
...rare moments of freedom from the strict regimen come, strangely, at the table. Breakfast-eaten usually in state-subsidized clubs or officers' messes-is a souped-up repast of coffee, rolls and hefty portions of eggs and ham. Lunch provides plenty of soup, meat and vegetables, topped off with the sweet desserts, e.g., palaczinta, so popular in Hungary. Suppers are generally light, but no one frowns on wines or beer. "We don't like our athletes to be ascetic," says Sir. "It doesn't go with the Hungarian character...
Outwardly, Len Hall seems to thrive on his hectic regimen-and there is little doubt that he relishes his work. His geniality has not rubbed off under the stress. His singing and his original songs (sample title: The Squaws on the Yukon Are Good Enough for Me) are famous in Washington.

To the casual observer he seems to be a bald and bouncy gladhander, as carefree...
...President, it was clearly a time of testing, as much a part of his medically prescribed regimen as his four weeks of bed rest and his three months of gradual convalescence. He was on a six-hour daily work schedule, with two hours off for lunch and midday rest. Into his office throughout the week paraded a succession of important callers: Secretary of State Dulles (twice alone and once with others), Attorney General Brownell (to discuss the President's upcoming message on changes in immigration laws), Economic Advisers Arthur Burns and Gabriel Hauge, Atomic Energy Commission Chairman Lewis Strauss...
...area, too, diet is hotly debated. "No salt!" cry many doctors, although the link between salt and blood pressure is not fully understood. Many doctors believe that salt content must drop to an infinitesimal one-tenth of a teaspoonful per day. This can be achieved only by an extreme regimen like the famed "rice diet." But even on this, says Dr. Page, a mere 25% of the patients get their blood pressure down to near-normal levels. So: "Whether one wishes the psychic mortification of the rice diet or the dubious gratification of a planned low-salt diet...
