Harvey Love's Yardling eight met up with the best Engineer crew in many years, and nearly received an upset that would have dimmed the recent brilliant Freshman record. Tech caught them in the middle of the race, went a little ahead at the three-quarters. But Bus Curwen upped the stroke a trifle to a 36 at the bridge, and very slowly drew off to finish half a length away from fighting M.I.T...

Meanwhile the Dining Halls should be less anxious to create an impression than to serve Harvard...

But Frenchmen who in peacetime think no more of yanking a Premier than Americans think of yanking a pitcher out of the box, were not unduly upset-not even when a report got about that the Cabinet had fallen because one box of ballots had accidentally gone uncounted. Already those in the know had heard who the next Premier would be: Paul Reynaud, brilliant Finance Minister, considered No. 2 in the Cabinet of which Edouard Daladier had been...
