...game was distressing because it showed for the first time this year how much Harvard needs some semblance of a passing attack. Even though the Crimson's passing (six for fifteen, 87 yards) was better than it had been all season, it still wasn't good enough to scare Cornell much. The Ithacans were able to stack their defense and hold Harvard to 112 yards rushing. Without a passing attack to keep the defenses honest. Harvard may be able to look good against teams like Columbia and Holy Cross, but against a tough defense like Cornell's, the lack...
...sister stands aloof and stricken, while the other lies draped seductively over her father's knees. Writer-Director Polanski nonetheless makes his fair murderess seem authentically tragic, herself the most pitiable victim of the evil she does. Whether such a film finally serves any purpose other than to scare people silly remains doubtful, yet in the long tradition of cinematic shockers, Repulsion looms as a work of monstrous...
...Billion Indemnity. A bomb scare delayed his flight from San Juan for an hour while the chartered airliner was searched. When Bosch arrived in Santo Domingo, a few scattered shots greeted his caravan as it sped from the airport into the old rebel zone of the city; no one was hit.

Crane Brinton, Howard Mumford Jones, Arthur M. Schlesinger, Sr., Mark DeWolfe Howe, and John Kenneth Galbraith were all named. So was an associate...
...suggests that AID may not go on forever. That debilitating form of aid, direct injections into national budgets, has been mostly dropped, except for South Viet Nam, Korea, Laos, Jordan and the Congo. Military aid, once the source of sour jokes about dictators who "imported 5,000 Communists" to scare the U.S. into supplying arms, now goes mostly to eleven nations ringing the Russian-Chinese land mass. No aid at all goes to Communist nations any more...
