Eight of last year's thirteen regular skaters will be missing when Harvard opens its 1964-65 season against the St. Nicholas Hockey Club at 8 p.m. Saturday in Watson Rink. Five of the six highest scorers, the best defenseman, and the regular goalie have all graduated. A sixth forward, John Stevens, is taking a year's absence from school because of a kindney ailment...
...when the Pilgrims were still living comfortably at Scrooby in Nottinghamshire, the Virginia Company planted the first permanent English colony in America at Jamestown. By the time the Pilgrims debarked from the Mayflower, the settlement at Jamestown was thirteen years old. Long ago before Squanto taught the New England Separatists how to fish and raise crops, the Virginians were exporting thousands of pounds of tobacco to satisfy the nicotine hunger of England.

However, the ex-Governor does have problems, at least thirteen of them: Bellotti's 12 children and Goldwater. The "virility issue," as Volpe's aides call it, cannot be met rationally. Everyone in Massachusetts knows about, and feels either sympathy or admiration for, the fatherly ambitions of the Democratic nominee. The issue is one of the great imponderables of the campaign...
