...throw Her Majesty in," urged Prince Bernhard. It was midnight, and everyone was feeling pretty democratic, but the palace aide, for some curious reason, still demurred. So finally, the Prince himself sneaked over, seized The Netherlands' Queen Juliana, 56, clad in a cocktail dress and suavely heaved her into the swimming pool at the Hotel Caravanserai on St. Maarten in the Netherlands Antilles. Thus the Dutch royal couple, on a ten-day tour of the islands, regally put everyone at ease. Prince Bernhard had already been dunked in his tux, most of the other guests had followed...
...dark purple sphere about the size of a plum, Super Ball has already bounced into millions of U.S. homes, shows no signs of slowing down. McGeorge Bundy bounces Super Balls in his Washington basement, brokers on the Pacific Coast Stock Exchange throw them about the floor during slack hours, Manhattan executives dribble them on their desks, and kids around the country are bouncing them down sidewalks and school corridors...
...Then throw it in the wastebasket.

When Larson swept around left end for eleven yards, Harvard was in big trouble; the ball was on the 29, and Cornell was clearly moving within field goal range. Larson went up the middle for one yard, and then Hinman tried to stop the clock by throwing the ball out of bounds. The referee, however, ruled his throw a backward pass, and Cornell was saddled with a seven-yard loss. On third down Larson swept around left end for six yards, but the Big Red was still 30 yards away from the end zone. Zogby attempted a field goal with...
