...very same day, the Quakers were beating Harvard's racquetmen for the first time ever after losing to the Crimson 25 times. Coach Jack Barnaby's squad had won 7 consecutive Ivy titles, 24 straight team matches, and 60 of 63 individual matches that winter before losing to the Quakers and their strange balls, 5-4. The loss gave Penn the league championship ahead of the Crimson. You could almost hear Dickie Lee saying, "Strange things happen in this world." Barnaby said that seeing Penn so happy almost took he sting out of the defeat. Coaches have compassion...
This year, the target has been grades. A large group of first-year students realized in the middle of the winter that in June they would face examinations which would virtually determine their legal careers, and they found the prospect simply unacceptable. They prepared a report which urged several educational reforms, and eventually 80 percent of the first-year class signed a petition demanding pass-fail grading this year...
Nobody seems to make better use of the five-day week than the young. On a Saturday in summer, the banks of the Moscow River are crowded with young couples strolling and kissing.

This past winter one enterprising young man booked a first-class compartment for himself and his girl friend on the Red Arrow...
...Seel, who has studied 919 cases of stomach cancer at the Presbyterian Medical Center in Chonju, South Korea, described the annual ritual of making soy sauce and soya paste. Each winter, virtually every household makes loaves of soybean mash and stores them in a cool, dark place, often under the eaves, so that they will get moldy. To make sure that the mold develops, some Koreans buy a pure culture and spread it on their loaves. By early spring, a furry black or gray growth covers the mash. The Koreans scrape off this "exuberant fungus," as Seel described...
...language is that of a Scott Fitzgerald heroine, and rightly so. Ali (a childhood abbreviation of Alice) is a reasonable facsimile of Judy Jones in Winter Dreams, whose mouth gave a "continual impression of flux, of intense life, of passionate vitality-balanced only partially by the sad luxury of her eyes." Even more, she seems to be playing some endless version of Gatsby's Daisy, whose voice had "a singing compulsion, a whispered 'Listen,' a promise that she had done gay, exciting things just a while since and there were gay, exciting things hovering in the next...
