Unless Penn performs at a level it has failed to attain all season, Harvard should win easily. The Crimson have better times in 10 of 11 swimming events, although the fact that Penn might shave some men could reduce this margin. The Crimson's superiority in the freestyles is clearcut. Rich Baughman should win easily in the 1000-yd. free, especially since Rusty Varley, the Quakers top distance freestyler, has quit the team. Either captain Fred Mitchell or Rich Baughman will be the favorite...
...games in a row. In the off season he logged 50,000 miles on the back roads of the South and beyond, searching for talent.

"I'm doomed to these universal watchfulnesses," he wrote, though not as effortlessly as Kerouac readers were once led to believe. Author Charters dispels the popular misconception that On the Road leaped spontaneously out of Kerouac's head and onto the 120-ft. roll of teletype paper...
Their memoir has the vague, elegiac air of a wake going into its second night. With earnest triviality O'Donnell remembers J.F.K. as "the only guy I ever knew who could shave while wearing his topcoat." Powers, who refers to himself as "John's other wife," reproduces evenings spent in the White House when Jackie and the kids were out of town. There were Audrey Hepburn movies and broiled chicken dinners warmed over on a hot plate.
