Last year Lee recorded the finest wrestling season that a Harvard squad has ever compiled. Against the longest and toughest Crimson schedule, the wrestling team finished 14-5, second in the Ivy League, and won 10 of its last 12 matches. Highlight of the season was a 17-15 victory over Springfield, the first loss the Indians had suffered in New England since...
...William M. Kunstler requested the pleasure of the Chicago Seven's company at a birthday party in honor of Black Panther Chairman Bobby Seale at their home, West Street, Mamaroneck, N.Y. This highlight of the social season gathered the "conspirators" together (with the exception of Tom Hayden, who was busy in San Diego making his own plans for the 1972 Republican National Convention) for the first time since their trial ended early in 1970. Draft beer, chips and pretzels were served, and 35-year-old Bobby was presented with a dark blue sweater. After blowing out the seven conspiratorial...
...with the song "Mudshark." A parody of white rock groups who try to play soul music. "Mudshark" is hilarious. Masterfully done, the song is based on a genuinely soulful beat, but it is performed in such a way as to point out the essential ludicrousness of the situation.

But that wasn't all--the next song was "Bwana Dick" with lyrics like "My dick...
...Native Dancer grandson. Having given his trainer authority to buy the horse, Joseph Taub was eating a leisurely dinner at the time the trainer spent his money. He returned from his meal to borrow a flashlight and inspect his new acquisition in a darkened stall. The highlight came Thursday, when a three-way bidding contest for a bay son of Buckpasser ended with Mrs. Marion duPont Scott the victor: price, $235,000. While the auctions offer a newcomer like Taub a way to break into racing, most of the Saratoga yearlings are sold to barely more than a hundred regular...
...Gabon's weddings." Highlight No. 1: Frank Sinatra, in excellent voice, making his farewell appearance-singing the songs he made famous and ending quietly with a "saloon song" called Angel Eyes. He barely whispered the last line, " 'Scuse me while I disappear," as the lights faded, and he did. Highlight No. 2: Princess Grace of Monaco, patroness of the evening, introduced by a nervous Gary Grant, her onetime leading man. Highlight No. 3: Pearl Bailey hamming it up in her Hello, Dolly! number with what may have been the highest priced male chorus line of all time: Sammy...
