...biggest gainers of 1968 managed to climb at all in this year's first half. Their showing confirmed Wall Street's axiom that"go-go" funds can seldom put together two good years in a row because it is almost impossible consistently to pick stocks that will spectacularly outperform the mar ket. Last year's rich winners were those fund managers who correctly foresaw that the market would rally after President Johnson's renunciation. This year those managers failed to anticipate that the market would tumble after bankers raised the prime rate to 81/2...
...work out a satisfactory resolution of these strong pressures may be impossible for any institution, and particularly for a University which has so seldom faced such strong internal political pressures. Bureaucratic rigidities long predating Dean Glimp's tenure hamper the task of adjustment; he has played some small role in loosening such rigidities. And if threads of the much-vaunted Harvard community still exist after the turmoil of last April, it is in part due to his continuing efforts at mediation.

The school paper summed up that unhappy season by noting: "At half, Prince Charles seldom drove himself as hard as his ability and position demanded." There were critics of his rugby style as well. In one pileup, a voice from the heap underneath Charles was heard imploring: "Oh, get off me, Fatty!" Academically, he was an average student, and in 1962 it was time to follow Prince Philip's path once...
...being outside the womb, rubella is a trivial complaint. It usually causes a mild fever, a fleeting rash, a slight headache, occasionally a cough and a sore throat. Some cases are so mild that they pass unnoticed, yet all apparently confer lifelong immunity. Unlike mumps and common measles, rubella seldom evokes severe ill ness in the 20% of people who escape it in childhood and catch it as adults...
