UMass skiers placed second, third, and fourth to edge Radcliffe and win the contest. Wellesley placed third. Despite the recent spell of warm weather, the conditions for the race were good. "There was good cover, with no rocks or anything," Angell said...
When a sudden cold spell struck the vast eucalyptus groves in the hills above Berkeley, Calif., last December, 2,000,000 to 3,000,000 of the tall trees died. Planted at the turn of the century in an ill-fated lumbering venture, the trees have now become a grave danger. Forestry and fire officials warn that the 3,000 acres of dead trees will present an unprecedented fire hazard this summer. The usual changing winds of late August and early September could fan a cigarette-or lightning-caused fire and send flames sweeping through the surrounding hills toward...

The opportunity to acquire a TV station was ignored 25 years ago. Staff was allowed to expand with little concern for the cost. Says Punch Sulzberger: "When I first came here [1955], there was no budget." Arthur Hays Sulzberger, Punch's father, would share profit-and-loss figures with only three other top executives because, as his son says, "It was no one else's business." According to Sulzberger, then-Managing Editor Turner...
