...THOUSAND DAYS: JOHN F. KENNEDY IN THE WHITE HOUSE, by Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr. Some of Kennedy's advisers stood nearer the President, but none was better equipped than Harvard Historian Schlesinger to pay public respect to his memory.

Crimson center Barry Williams was roughed up a lot under the boards, got into foul trouble, and had only nine rebounds for the night. Harvard's much-improved forward, John Scott, also got nine...
