...closest race of the afternoon, Coach Fred Cabot's varsity 150's bucked a stiff headwind and a rapid tide to pull out a six-tenths of a second victory. Behind at the start, the Crimson quickly took the lead and held it over the higher stroking Lion eight for the rest of the race...
...with federal elections only two years away, 32% of those polled now look on the Socialists as the "most sympathetic party," while only 30% so regard the C.D.U. A three-man C.D.U. committee chosen to name the next Chancellor appears convinced that only Erhard can reverse the tide. But Adenauer holds out against a quick decision.

As middle-class neighborhoods decayed into slums, vestrymen and clergy often gave up, sold their empty churches to Pentecostal sects or parking lot operators. But the tide is beginning to turn, as mainstream churches have raised a new generation of dedicated Protestant ministers who are bringing religion alive again in their once-dying urban parishes. Every denomination has some of these clerical heroes, but none are more dedicated than those who belong to the sedate Protestant Episcopal Church...
