...midi campaign, Fairchild's principal strategists are Brady and June Weir, WWD's fashion editor, whom Fairchild made a vice president in a recent shakeup (and whom Jacques Tiffeau calls "a nun with a knife in both pockets"). Fairchild and Brady have been close friends ever since 1953, when John was covering the retail stores and Brady was working in Macy's advertising department. Weir came to WWD in 1954, also from Macy's, where she had been an assistant buyer. Fairchild first got the midi notion in 1966, says Weir, when he saw Zhivago-inspired coats in Paris...
Harvard junior Joe Cavanagh disposed of Rick Weir, 6-3, 6-1, at number four to put his squad ahead immediately, and while Nielsen battled to push Rich Howell into a third set, Dave Fish was pulling off the biggest upset in the League this spring-at least the biggest until the Bill Washauer-Bobby Goeltz match later that afternoon...
Playing with Rogers, he almost personally dumped Fish and Cavanagh, 6-1, 6-2, for Princeton's fourth point, and soon after, Weir and Jim Bright defeated Kawakami and Rick Devereux, 6-1, 7-5 at number three, to clinch the match for Princeton...
During Howell's absence the Tigers have been using Rick Weir at three and a doubles team of Goeitz and Colson at number one-with neither replacement being very effective.

Eighty-three persons were killed, including the pilot of the private plane. It was the 19th time this year that two planes have collided and the 58th time since the start...
