...McLoone, the only senior in McCurdy's lineup today, will be closing out an outstanding Harvard cross country career against topflight competition. Sophomore Dave Pottetti and junior Keith Colburn are the best bets for medal-winning performances.

Jane sets out in a pink spaceship, complete with psychedelic color effects and a cozy computer reminiscent of 2001's HAL. She heads back a year later in the arms of a beautiful blond, blind male angel (John Phillip Law).

It was reported that Liu Shih-kun, topflight pianist and runner-up to Van Cliburn at the Moscow Tchaikovsky festival in 1958, had his wrists broken by Red Guards. Hung Hsien-nu, Canton's best-known opera singer, was tried by kangaroo courts, had her hair bobbed, and now works sweeping floors. Chou Hsin-fang, star of the Peking opera, and elderly Author Lao She (known in the West for Rickshaw Boy) have...
