Last week word got out that one Soviet star had daringly snarled the party line. He was no less a personage than Choreographer Igor Moiseyev, whose dance troupe scored a notable triumph in the U.S. last year (TIME, May 12). At home last December he stepped to the podium in Moscow's House of Actors and delivered an amazing travelogue. Said he: Even the most informed Russians are badly mistaken about U.S. culture...
Fresh from a smashing triumph over Army's powerful Cadets, the varsity track team will face Princeton, one of the East's weaker squads, this afternoon at 1:30 in the Stadium.

Keith Glennan ordered the space shoot, the Air Force, Navy and Marines selected the nation's no likeliest military test pilots (requirement: at least 1,500 flight hours).

Benjamin's mark was nearly 13 seconds faster than Pete Reider's former University standard, and it establishes him as perhaps the leading distance runner in this part of the country...
