Captain Dinny Adams. Jose Gonzales, Rick Sterne, and Todd Wilkinson, the top four Crimson players, were never pressed. Wilkinson turned in the wipe of the day, 15-2, 15-0, 15-7, over Cornell's Bill Schiener...
Even if Sargent's words represent more than political tact, there are good reasons for believing that the DPW is intent on selecting the Brook-line-Elm Street route--the one that would wipe out 1000 to 1500 families and run right next to Central Square. First, it has been the route long championed by his agency. Second, plans for this route are farther along than for any other. And third, any other realistic alternative would run along the fringe of the M.I.T. campus; the political power of M.I.T., a venus flytrap for federal research contracts, is latent, but great...
Last month Curtis negotiated the sale of 110,000 acres of mineral-rich Canadian land, as well as 141,000 acres of Pennsylvania forest, to Texas Gulf Sulphur.

Long Regret. Johnson got what he wanted-but he paid a price.

After the backdown, many businessmen expressed disappointment and chagrin. Even on Johnson's own staff, there were...
Mothers Must Wait. To wipe out a projected $1.75 billion deficit in the 1966 budget, the government slashed its defense outlay, aid to Berlin, civil service pensions and civil-defense spending. While it refrained from boosting corporate or consumer taxes for fear of inviting a recession, it symbolically hiked the tax on two national luxuries: sparkling wine, of which the Germans now consume more than the French, and schnapps. Most important, Erhard announced plans to renege on some of his party's pre-election promises by paring or postponing bills that were to give bigger handouts to his country...
