...Vogue. T.T., a sort of Bolshevik Babbitt with a strain of a Good Soldier Schweik of the Class War, is the central figure in a series of events which would seem like fantasy were not each episode matched by a solemn quotation from Soviet pronouncements. By Soviet standards, T.T. is highly fortunate-he has a television set, a Pobeda automobile, a plump stomach and a talented teen-age daughter named Simochka. Yet there comes the dreadful day when it is reported from Simochka's university that she has been overheard making anti-party statements. This is serious business-only...

This suggested that an organ donated for spare-part use might be conditioned so that it would no longer stimulate the recipient's system to produce antibodies. And a team at the University of Minnesota reported on work with rats and rabbits...
Fullbacks Cris Provensen and Lanny Keyes face the M.I.T. forwards without the regular reserve strength of Floyd Malloy, so more strain than ever rests on the outstanding combination. Sophomore goalie Tom Bagnoli again replaces injured regular Jim Perkins, who may be out of action for another week...
