...Citizens Summer Committee project, which is co-chaired by Metropolitan Museum of Art Director (and former City Parks Commissioner) Thomas Hoving and Time Inc. Board Chairman Andrew Heiskell. Some $500,000 in corporation cash has already poured in to pay for summer recreation programs. One project that got underway this month was the Clairol Caravan, a touring company that is bringing fashion shows, rock 'n' roll concerts and other entertainment to 30 small parks all over the country-including New York's Central Park.

Once this is accomplished, girls can be moved from the badly-overcrowded older dorms in the Quad and renovation...
...Britannia became the first regularly scheduled transatlantic liner. At the time that the 80,000-ton Queen Mary made her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York in May 1936, only the French Line's Normandie could rival her for size and speed.* Within six months, work was underway on her even bigger sister ship, the 83,000-ton Queen Elizabeth, whose maiden trip to New York in 1940, coming as it did after the outbreak of World War II, was shrouded in secrecy. The Queens served as troop ships throughout the war, eluding German submarines and planes...
