...stigma of the earlier conflict remains, but the City is no longer strictly divided. In the winter of 1966, for example, the Cambridge City Council spawned a feud which dug deep into the City's political traditions and demonstrated that the old forces had lost much of their strength. The conventional political alignment had always pitted councillors endorsed by the Cambridge Civic Association (a "good government" organization) against so-called independents, the non-endorsed councillors...
...endowment passed $1 billion, and each year it runs a budget of more than $130 million. But if Harvard is big and rich now, it will be bigger and richer ten years from now: the University continues to seek new financial support at an astounding pace. Just last winter President Pusey, in his annual report, listed $160 million of capital needs currently being sought...
After two decades of peace, Finland had to fight not one but three wars during World War II: first the famed Winter War of 1939-40, in which it stalemated the invading Russians; then in 1941, when it fought the Russians again as a reluctant German ally; then again in 1944, when, having sued for peace with the Allies, it had to drive the Germans from its soil in a gory cleanup operation that took seven months...

...science. Texas Southern's Jim Hines, 20, is not the least bit pigeon-toed-in fact, he's just a little duck-footed, and it may be a good thing. If he were 100% efficient, there is no telling how fast he could run. Three times last winter Hines tied the indoor world record of 5.9 sec. in the 60-yd. dash. Last month, in the 100-yd. dash at Houston's Southwestern Athletic Conference meet, he got off to a so-so start, still was timed in 9.1 sec.-equaling the world record...
