...them, Drafting Harvard should not be a game. They do not want to play at all. Many of them refuse. They resign, and the Selective Service gobbles them up or throws them into jail...
...Crybaby. Something had to give. When Recruit Douglas Ratliff punched him in the jaw during a judo class, Johnson, who ranked first in physical fitness, struck back. No one broke up the scuffle until Johnson decked Ratliff, who took three stitches for a cut lip. Ratliff was asked to resign for breaking a strict no-fighting rule. Blasher was forced out because of his "attitude"-though he was first in the class scholastically. Impulsively, Johnson resigned in protest, charging that Blasher had been bounced because of his friendship for him. Blasher, who had spent a year on the Los Angeles...

The Boston Symphony's Erich Leinsdorf, 55, who has announced that he plans to resign at the end of the 1969 season because of his killing schedule, likens himself to "a 27-inning pitcher" with no relief in the bullpen. Like Boston, New York and Chicago are also in the market for new music directors, and the conductors in Philadelphia and Cleveland-Eugene Ormandy...
