Indeed, the heavies usually use the Head to experiment with unusual combinations, and last year, with a particular boat, the state-of-the-art molded Robinson plastic shell. Again this year the emphasis will be on giving newcomers a try, as coach Harry Parker will let returning varsity veterans Jay Smith John MacEchern and Charlie Altekruse row in events other than the varsity eight. Altekruse and George Hatch--back after a year off-will compete together in championship double sculls...
...influence their writing of history, Handlin says. Nonetheless, they deserve no more than a slap on the wrist. After all, these works "were products of serious scholarship, had respectable scientific underpinnings, and earned respect as useful contributions to the solution of current problems." Some people found them useful, anyway--state legislators held up these books as supporting "evidence" for Jim Crow laws.

...community's interest cannot be disregarded. Community leaders' most deep-seated fear is that once the diesels go in, they will keep running, no matter now much nitrogen dioxide comes out. The recommendations call for close monitoring of the plant's emissions, a state mandate to turn the diesels off if emission levels are exceeded and a backup utility contract to protect the schools and hospitals from an energy blackout in case the diesels are shut off. The state, at all costs, can not acquiesce to MATEP's pleas for leniency. If the diesels exceed levels the DEQE has determined...
