...real excitement will probably be saved for the last. Unless McCurdy decides to skirt the issue--and that would not be like McCurdy--spectators still around for the two-mile relay should see one of the hottest races in years. The Crusader quartet of Buchta, Bowers, Paul Lilly, and Jack O'Connor has done under 7:40, but the Crimson can field a strong lineup...
That evening came a moment for which all Washington womanhood had been waiting: Jacqueline Kennedy, stunning in a white gown of silk ottoman, emerged coatless from the house with her husband, lifted her skirt daintily above the snow and headed off for the festivities of inauguration eve. The first big event was the inaugural concert, held in Constitution Hall, unmarred for the Kennedys even by the fact that 60 out of 100 musicians, including Soloist Mischa Elman, had failed to make it through the snowstorm for the occasion...

Dake argues heatedly: "Our confiscatory tax laws are forcing people to the ragged edge of ethics. Stiff taxes have created an atmosphere in which everyone quite openly wants to skirt around the laws legally, and they don't spend too much time with the moral considerations.''

It tacitly agreed to buy his stock back when it had risen, thanks to business from the parent company, thus enabling the executive to take his salary in capital...
