Penn opened up a 20-point lead in the second half, but Harvard came fighting back to narrow the margin to six, two minutes from the end. Unfortunately, there wasn't enough steam in the rally and the Quakers won their first League game after losing to Princeton. Blisky and Wohl combined to hit 23 of 36 shots from the field...
...Social Security taxes went up by $3.6 billion a year. By April 15, taxpayers must give Washington an extra $11 billion in catch-up payments for the second quarter of 1968, when the 10% income-tax surcharge was not withheld from salaries.

Sleek and speedy, the Queen Elizabeth 2 was designed as a floating luxury hotel, modern and comfortable enough to attract free-spending American tourists for the transatlantic run in the warm seasons and Caribbean cruises in the winter.

The casings did not allow enough room for normal heat expansion of the 10-ft. rotor blades, and the engines were thrown out of balance. As a result, speeds had to be cut from a normal...
...smelling a little like the bowels of the Indoor Athletic Building. I'm not really qualified to tell you whether Inga makes Therese and Isabel look like a milk-fed puppy, not having seen the former film or The Fox; the ads claim that the screen begins to steam, a verb best reserved for about 20 per cent of the audience, but I guess in all fairness a bubble does rise to the surface now and again...
