...final period for an 11 point lead and then just coasted in. The closest Harvard came was 17 minutes before the end at 43-36 on a Kanuth jump shot. Then Steve Rippe, David Rex and Gene Rodgers outscored the Crimson 14-6 over a seven minute span to ice the decision...
...suggest cool competence I rather than passion or brilliance. They are problem solvers rather than idea brokers. They span the Republican midsection from the moderate progressives to the responsible conservatives, stopping short of ideological extremes. They are mostly affluent, some in the millionaire bracket, but they earned their money rather than inheriting it. There are no blooded patricians in the lot, just strivers who have acted out the middle-class dream. Thus, as much as any dozen individuals can, Richard Nixon's new Cabinet members mirror the qualities of their boss, of the campaign he waged, of the aspirations...
...collective-individual relationship is much easier to document and far better researched than the motivations of China's millions. The image of Mao which emerges has all the features of high tragedy. Mao will undoubtedly be recalled as one of the great political geniuses of all time.

The third hit the nearby Nag Hammadi electric power station, one of the four major relay points between Cairo and the Aswan...
Investing a Summer. Today the Komsomol claims 23 million members, busy at activities that span the range of Soviet society. Since 1950, more than 1,800,000 Komsomoltsy have given up summer vacations and sometimes whole school years to work on development projects in Siberia and the Soviet Far East. Komsomoltsy helped build the Bratsk hydroelectric station, are now participating in the construction of the Togliatti auto plant, which is scheduled to produce 600,000 Soviet versions of the Italian Fiat a year. Some of the youngsters go out of ideological zeal, some simply for the adventure of getting away...
