...walls of the IAB came crumbling in on the Harvard wrestlers Saturday afternoon when a spotty but cunning Springfield squad marched right over the Crimson for a 37-7 slaughter. The loss was the third in a row for the matmen, who, thanks to a string of early season victories, still sport a 10-5-1 record...

Between 1944 and 1948, Albania, Bulgaria, Rumania, Hungary, Poland, Czechoslovakia and East Germany all fell under Soviet control, either by Soviet army conquest or political subversion. North Korea, which was occupied by Soviet troops, entered Moscow's orbit in 1948, and China the following year, after Mao Tse-tung's armies swept across the country.
