Things just didn't quite click for the varsity baseball squad yesterday. If their play against Holy Cross had been just a little smoother, or hits a little more strategically timed--or even if the third inning had never existed--it all might have been different...
...Massive Blockade?" The government action against Banks is not likely to make sailing any smoother on the Great Lakes. While most Canadian unions supported the government, the parent S.I.U. decided to keep Banks on the payroll at $20,000 a year. It seemed likely that trouble on the waterfront might block shipment of the $254 million worth of grain that Canada still has to deliver to Russia. The New York-headquartered S.I.U., with some 70,000 members and A.F.L.-C.I.O. backing in the dispute, pledged "absolute support for Hal Banks," hinted at the possibility of a "massive blockade" of Canadian...
Gary Berger's fifteen-piece big band, which played first, showed how much it has improved. At last year's Quincy-Holmes jazz concert, the Berger band was hesitant and restrained.

Also, the band has developed a group of soloists who can play in front of a big ensemble and still not sound thin and tremulous. Sam Saltostall's humorous trombone and the vigorous saxophones of Watanabe and Errol Burke provided some fine solo work...
Frances Gitter as Zenocrate starts slowly, making no effort to smooth the queen's sudden transformation from hatred of Tamburlaine to love for him.

Stone's outbursts of emotion and Miss Gitter's lovely reading are supplemented by some dazzling work with the lighting by David Levine...
...temperature of Mercury on its permanently sunlit side is 1,800° F. The roughness of Mercury could be due to any irregularities more than a foot or so in width-large enough to scatter the 5-in. waves of the Goldstone transmitter. If Mercury's surface were smoother than that, the radar waves would be reflected from a small highlight in the center of the disk. Instead, the planet is radar bright all over, which means that its whole surface must have irregularities that bounce radar waves back toward the earth...
