There is, of course, no guarantee that the colonels and generals will be better rulers than the civilians they threw out. They face horrendous economic problems, and their popularity is bound to wear off as the man in the marketplace discovers that he is not going to rise from poverty overnight. One veteran revolutionary is already predicting failure. "These African military coups will not work," said Egypt's Colonel Gamal Abdel Nasser last week. "African military men have no political experience, and their economies are too poor to meet the expectations of the people. They cannot last...
...Harvard mark of 1:57.4 last season. The Bulldogs will also throw in Rick Schneider, their old record holder at 2:00.5. Mettler is a faster sprinter than Hayes and probably will set the pace, but Neville hasn't lost in a long time and might be able to wear Mettler down in the last 50 and win, with both men under the meet and respective college records...
...Since January, the team has been crawling through miles of mazes in the no man's land north of Saigon, braving booby traps and 100° temperatures.

Johnny Carson has sported it on his TV show, and fashion magazines have touted it as the latest chic...
...University Club last week, the galleries were packed as two of the game's fiercest competitors had at each other in the finals of the National Singles championship. The favorite in private betting (at 5 to 3) was Samuel Purdy Howe III, 27, a Social Register Philadelphian who wears shirts monogrammed SPH in and learned the game as a child at Pennsylvania's exclusive Merion Cricket Club. His opponent in the finals: Victor Niederhoffer, 22, son of a former New York City policeman, who attended Brooklyn's Abraham Lincoln High School and had never seen a squash...
