Three Medals. At Cortina last winter, Toni cut a noticeable slice out of Russia's spectacular march down the ski trails. Standing just a little straighter than his rivals, demonstrating a spectacular sense of balance and feel for the snow, he won a gold medal in all three Alpine events (giant slalom, slalom and downhill). He is expected to win this season's big downhill honors in Europe and plans to come to the U.S. this month to race at Aspen, Colo, and Stowe...
...house her haul. Catherine built a series of apartments adjoining Leningrad's baroque Winter Palace, set up a hanging garden filled with orange trees (that were hustled inside for the winter), and coyly nicknamed the place her "little hermitage."

And for students, this period would provide the chance to revitalize the tutorial program, the most intelligent way to incorporate independent study for all into the course-grade system, and a great opportunity for giving purpose to the House system. During this winter period, college-wide extra-curricular activities should be at a minimum (The CRIMSON, for instance, should publish only twice each week), and instead House discussion groups would give some intellectual life to Houses which now are chiefly places to sleep, to eat, and perhaps to produce a few plays...
While temperatures are not as uncomfortable as they have been, the present low-20-degree weather will keep snow on the ground, to hamper post-exam travelling. Students will note Winter's clever timing in bringing record low temperature days as Harvard returned from the holidays, and now in assuring difficult exit from cold, damp Cambridge...
