Harvard coach Harry Parker was forced to change his strategy and switch shells because of the northeaster-swept Seekonk. The Crimson rowed in the freshman crew's Pocock shell which is better balanced and rides higher in rough water than the varsity's regular low-profile Stampfli boat...
Being in charge-and in combat-is nothing new to him. As a sergeant in World War II, he commanded a tank. During a battle near the Nazi lines, a shell fragment ripped into the left side of his face, and plastic surgery left him with a stiff, dour expression that matches his personality. Smiles come hard to the new Governor, even if he were of the mind for them. Ogilvie built his public reputation as a federal prosecutor, gaining wide publicity in 1960 when he prosecuted a Chicago gang boss on income tax fraud. Ogilvie's masklike, bespectacled...

It consists of multistory bunkers equipped with electric lights and even television and roofed with a "secret" material (possibly a combination of timber, sand and steel rails ripped up from the trans-Sinai railway line), which the Israelis claim can withstand a direct hit from a 130-mm. shell-one reason why their casualties were so light. If the shelling continues, the Israelis warned last week, they have no intention of sitting tight forever in their bunkers. One obvious target for reprisal: Port Said, out of range of Israel's artillery but not its jets...
