...visit to Johannesburg. Monty told reporters he found it "very curious" that the U.S. had voted to condemn apartheid, because "it has much the same racial setup inside its own borders." Warming to a favorite subject, Monty added that the trouble with Americans is that, instead of furnishing "sure leadership" to the West, they go around the world saying, "What good guys we are." Monty also confided that he wanted to examine the racial situation in South Africa, but in doing so did not plan to meet any nonwhite leaders. In any event, his mind seemed already made...
...Americans had been virtually sure to get a red hat: Archbishop Albert Gregory Meyer, 56, appointed last September to succeed Chicago's late Samuel Cardinal Stritch as head of the largest Catholic archdiocese in the U.S. (1,942,000 members).

When the Crimson lost to Princeton near the end of the season, the defeat was the first after seven wins and three ties, and it seemed sure to knock the varsity out of the Ivy League race. Yet there were no tears, no recriminations, no vows of "we'll get 'em next week." The loss was accepted with the same equanimity that marked all the previous successes. In fact, the only time the squad allowed itself...
