Kittredge was a hale, hearty man, who chain-smoked cigars to save on matches and always wore a pearl-gray suit. He carried a cane which he held high in the air to stop Harvard Square traffic, causing one truck driver to remark, "Who do you think you are--Santa Claus?" He also used his cane to knock the hats off students rude enough to wear them inside Widener. An associate of Leverett House, his portrait hangs in the Dining Hall there...

In effect, U.S. Steel, biggest and toughest...

Fangio, who has a thriving G.M. distributorship in Buenos Aires, could raise only half the necessary funds. That left Maserati at the mercy of the state-owned Credito Italiano, which had the right to turn the firm over to the government. Last week the plant was still running-but for the government and without the Orsis...
