Herbert Rawlins, Jr. '27 was a stylist, a player whose grace made him a pleasure to watch. Jack Barnaby '32, Harvard's present squash coach, wrote of him: "It was his pleasure to thwart the crude bludgeonings of sluggers with the rapier thrust of restrained but perfect accuracy." Rawlins took the National title...
...prospect of prosperity came in 1962, when Standard Oil Heiress Rebekah Harkness, a longtime ballet buff, invited the company to her 49-room ocean-front mansion in Watch Hill, R.I., to initiate a summer dance workshop. Lady Bountiful they called her, and so it seemed during the next two years when she helped finance the successful Jeffrey tours of the Near East and Russia.

...growing watch-and-wait mood among investors, who are nervous about the economy and Viet Nam, unquestionably contributed to the lower volume. For the straining back-office staffs who have been putting in grueling hours to overcome the paperwork logjam, that was just as well.

After six months he was released and in 1965 came Ward 7 (also shipped out and published abroad), in which Tarsis made it clear that only in a madhouse can a Russian speak his mind. This time he was allowed to leave Russia. But while...
More than 500 spectators, most of them curious students, paid 50 cents a head to watch the historic struggle. The McGill team was neatly dressed, after the English fashion. Seeing their opponents so nattily attired, the Harvard players were mortified for they wore no special uniform. The players had not felt called upon to indulge in such extravagance. Each man wore dark trousers, a white undershirt, and a magenta handkerchief tied around his head, as was the custom with the Harvard crews...
