...Stetz and Harry Turner were the Crimson standouts in the meet, each turning in iron-man performances in three of the most gruelling events in intercollegiate swimming. Turner, who missed a berth on the Australian Olympic team by a scant .2 second, cruised to victory ahead of teammate Bill Chadsey in the 220 with a time of 2:13.4--only a second off the Harvard record. Then in the 200 butterfly he finished right behind teammate Stetz in 2:11.3 to shut out versatile Bulldog captain Austin. Both Turner and Stetz, who set a new record in 2:11.0, were...
...daily capacity of 500,000 gallons, enough to supply a town of 5,000. That amount of water is only a drop in the bucket to the U.S. as a whole. But the significance of desalinization research goes beyond its immediate importance to national defense, looks ahead a scant 20 years, when Americans will be using 600 billion gallons of water a day-more than today's readily available supply...

In winning, the Big Red's Frank Brockman bettered his previous best over the course by more than a minute.

...mothers and children. I only went to a state university but I don't use words like that. That's the difference between me and Senator Kennedy. He had all of the opportunities but doesn't know how to use them, while I have best use of the scant opportunities life has meagerly provided. For example, Senator Kennedy has easily gotten a brain trust. I have worked to get one too. My Harvard professors like Senator Kennedy's provide honest advice, principle, consistency, and moral fiber for my campaign, but unlike Senator Kennedy I don't let these things...
