...came up during the observations offered by Fred L. Glimp '50, dean of Admissions. "Today's students," said Glimp, "are much more highly motivated;" he felt their years in secondary school had not been so "carefree" and feared the years they would spend in college might follow the same pattern. There is a danger, he said, that the College might someday be populated by persons "too worn out to be curious...
Wallace's opponent, State Senator Ryan deGraffenried, 37, assured the electorate that he was as good a segregationist as the next man. But Wallace's intemperance, he charged, would only stir up violence and chaos. Cried he: "It's been the same pattern in every state where you have a loudmouth, rabble-rousing Governor.

He memorizes every course, locating trouble spots where accidents or traffic jams are likely to occur, picking his spots for passing and for his final sprint. Like most top racers, he employs a flying squad of domestiques, whose job is not to win themselves but to harry opponents, ride in front to break the wind, trade bikes if Van Looy's breaks down, and ensure that...
