Today's meet against Brown should be little more than a warm-up for the Heps. The Bruins, who sport a 3-2 record, will threaten in only three events--the dash, pole vault, and broad jump. Two Brown pole vaulters have cleared 14', but Harvard's Pete Lazarus, who vaulted 14' 6" against Army, should take first. One Bruin to watch is Grey Owellette, undefeated in the broad jump...
...Strangelove, East" (Physicist Edward Teller held the Western title). But his main argument, which eventually became U.S. policy, was that the old massive-retaliation approach of the middle-'50s was irrational because it offered no real alternative between surrender and wholesale annihilation: "It does not make sense to threaten suicide in order to prevent eventual death."

Last week, in an unprecedented ruling, the FCC denied renewal of the license of Boston's WHDH-TV, which is owned (along with AM and FM radio stations) by the Herald-Traveler Corp. Taking over the CBS-affiliated channel will be Boston Broadcasters Inc., a consortium of 30 Boston businessmen and Cambridge intellectuals...
