Harvard's toughest competition will come from U Conn, which has won the intercollegiates for the last two years in a row, and whose players have an average of seven years experience in a sport where experience is important. Coach Andrew said only one member of his squad played polo before they came to Harvard--a disadvantage considering the length of time it takes to learn the complex game...
Although the combination of inflation and recession has been squeezing profits hard at a number of big chains -among them Sears, J.C. Penney, Montgomery Ward and Kresge-U.S. retailers as a whole are not in as bad shape as Grant's troubles might suggest. Kendrick, 61, a former Grant's floorman who took over as chairman last September, believes that the chain's slide can be reversed before too long. He plans to cut back to a "hard core" of 900 stores by 1977, slash capital spending by 90% in 1975, and return...
...these important people--although you would know that even without exams, the administrators are learning, too.

During more than four decades at Lockheed, Johnson personally directed the design and production of 40 planes, including the first American combat jet (F-80), the U-2 spy plane and the Mach 3 (three times the speed of sound) SR-71, which recently flew from New York to London in a record-breaking 1 hr. 55 min. As head of Lockheed's top-secret "Skunk Works" design shop, named after the foul-smelling factory...
...materials to their limits-and beyond. Wedding glider design to jet technology, he created the long, thin-winged U2, which for almost four years flew so high (80,000 ft.) over Soviet territory that no plane or missile could reach it; it was only when Francis Gary Powers' U-2 was downed by a new Soviet missile in 1960 that the world learned of the spy plane's existence. Johnson's double delta YF-12 interceptor remained unchallenged for a decade until Mikoyan's MIG-25 became operational...
