Awori added the 40-yard dash and the broad jump to his hurdles win, but Harvard looked thin in both events. No one challenged the Ugandan Olympic star as he won the dash in a slow 5.0. In the broad jump, normally a strong event for Harvard, Awori was the only man to break 22 feet. His 22 ft., 1/4 in. leap beat out sophomore Harvey Thomas by four inches. Pardee, who was near the 23-foot mark last season, was far off with his steps and could do no better than...
...about 75 miles in trucks. When she got here, she had no blood pressure and a pulse of 180. We thank God that she is slowly on the way to recovery. And she paid the $1.75 that covered the surgery." Permeating Carlson's letters, and scored in his thin voice on the tape-recorded messages he sent, were a delighted wonder at the oddness of the Congo and a conscious attempt to sound matter-of-fact.

Cuirass and helmet, shield and sword. Chain mail, longbow, harquebus, pike-and the thin-bladed misericord that could slip between the plates to pluck a man's life from his ribs. The battle-dented, brutally functional field armor of the 14th century; the intricately inlaid and painted parade armor of the 16th. Both of these accounts of arms and armor cover the ground well...
Fletcher, a thin, wiry individual who seems unable to stand in the same spot for more than ten seconds, explains why he and Davis took on the risk of the lodge...
