Fred Linsk, who was drawn to Harvard by author and runner Erich Segal, finished 13th, but would have done better had he not fallen down. Joining this group of four is Mike Noble, who may be the all-important fifth man coach Pappy Hunt was hoping would develop. Noble was 16th...
Meanwhile, Egyptian violations are continuing. For the 13th time since the truce took effect six weeks ago, Israel complained to the U.N. about the movement of new missiles into the 32-mile-wide standstill zone on the Egyptian side of the canal. The Israelis estimate that 72 missile sites have been built, restored or are now under construction in the zone; of these, 60 sites have been dug or repaired since the ceasefire, and ten of the 60 have been equipped with Russian-built missiles.

Shortly thereafter, Rumanian Premier Ion Gheorghe Maurer paid a visit to the Vatican. Last March, Bishop Marton himself was finally allowed to visit Rome. Major, state-subsidized restoration has begun on the 13th century Catholic Cathedral of Alba Iulia. Here, the tiny, white-haired bishop, now 84, celebrates Mass every Sunday, as martyr and witness to the vagaries of Rumanian religious policy...
