...minute press conference-staged by the public relations firm of Hill & Knowltoa and telecast live from Manhattan's' Plaza Hotel - Svetlana maintained a sweet Slavic charm and a rosy-cheeked, auburn-haired innocence, despite her first exposure to a free press and although one reporter was frisked by private detectives on the way in. She also displayed a dedication to liberty that stood in sharp if glossy contrast to her family background. More surprising was her spirited defense of her father-a demonstration that even a dictator with the blood of some 9,000,000 kulaks and political...
Last week the two old Warriors led the 76ers against San Francisco in the finals of the National Basketball Association championships. And revenge, ah, it was sweet. Not that it was easy. The 76ers won the first two games of the best-of-seven series, but the Warriors' big gun now is Rick Barry, 23.

...underlying it all is the mystique of summer-in-Cambridge. Ask anyone who says he knows, and he will conjure up images of effortless pick-ups by day-all those sweet little girls who come to Cambridge to get a Harvard man of their very own--and endless parties by night in the enclaves--Putnam Square, Harvard Street, Porter Square--where Harvard and Radcliffe students tend to cluster. Like all such legends, some of the Cambridge summer-time stories are true and some are not--or, more accurately, they are more true for some than for others. Still, the mystique...
