Shrout, one of the top sprinters in the league, swims five events as well as two relays well enough to give strong competition in any of them. Last year at the Eastern Seaboard Meet he broke the Harvard record for the 200-yard freestyle event with a time of 1:47.8. In the Yale meet he was just edged by the famed Don Schollander in the 50-yard freestyle event. Brooks says Shrout is a leading contender for the 1968 Olympic team...
...first the new trees had to be imported from nurseries as far away as the Atlantic seaboard. Finally the town established a local "tree bank" that now covers 50 acres. On the tenth anniversary of the coming of the bulldozers, St. James can boast today that it has planted some 27,000 new trees-roughly nine for each of its inhabitants-and now qualifies as one of the most densely and handsomely wooded towns in the nation...

We belong first to God and next to our race." Yale Chaplain William Sloane Coffin, a longtime activist who has marched against Southern white racism as well as the war, conceded that...
...even after the British were defeated, there were still tens of thousands of British sympathizers left along the Eastern Seaboard. And they were still around three decades later when the U.S. indignantly went to war to put an end to Britain's interference with U.S. trade with France, to stop the British navy from kidnaping American sailors and forcing them to serve in the war against Napoleon...
