Number five man Richie Friedman, the one Harvard player who should have been hurt most by the hard courts, made a valiant comeback against sharp-serving Ed Serues, 4-6, 6-2, 6-1, to give Harvard a favorable 3-3 split in the singles...
Liked by Foreigners. One of the major problems facing Abernethy-whose biggest car, the Ambassador, is actually shorter than many intermediates-has been the decline of the compact market. This trend has cut Rambler sales by 14%, Valiant sales by 29% and Chevy II and Falcon sales each by 39% below their 1964 levels.

But Flash Gordon still zips through space at supersonic speed on the trail of highflying gangsters, while Prince Valiant moves at a snail's pace through meticulously drawn medieval sagas. And the whole idiom has been parodied by Li'I Abner, in which a collection of bulbous-nosed, ham-handed hillbillies makes monkeys out of assorted stuffed shirts-judges, politicians, business tycoons-who are unlucky enough...
