After these strong events, the Navy strength begins to break down. Jack Gleeson has scoring potential in the weight throw, but he could well be held to a scant two points behind the Crimson's favored Art Croasdale, Cornell's Tom Gage, and Army's Ed Schillo...
When Daniel Seltzer chose a reading of Tamburlaine the Crest for the first production in the Loeb's Shakespeare-Marlowe Festival, he set himself a number of problems.

To compete in the intermediate-computer range, Machines Bull distributed RCA models with scant profit. With 80% of its output rented instead of sold, the company gradually discovered that it was not receiving income enough to amortize its nine plants. Machines Bull stepped up its borrowing, cut back on research, and chopped prices. The downward spiral had begun...
