...little packages that you can place in the memory bank of the '79 department. An extensive investigative reporting search has revealed that the decade ends after this year, offering a golden opportunity for any kind of summary. CBS will weigh in with two hours, 10-11 p.m. on the 28th and 29th, called "The Seventies: A CBS Retrospective." Harry Reasoner, who, in the course of that decade, has gone from CBS to ABC to CBS, will narrate. NBC Sports, continuing its annoying habit of making one word out of every show title, has come up with "Sportsyear '79: The year...

Kris Linsley led the Harvard onslaught, finishing 28th in 18:37 and Kat Taylor followed six seconds later for 35th. "Kat's performance was probably our best, considering that that was only her third cross country race in the past two years." Linsley said yesterday.

It looks like the game is on ice, except that Don Zimmer has decided to unleash the awesome firepower of the Red Sox bullpen. Soon somebody named Rick Bosetti is trotting around the circuit and the scoreboard reads Toronto...

...finals was not altogether popular, since his triumph in the semifinals came at the expense of the tournament's giant killer: Pat DuPre, 24, a lanky (6 ft. 2½ in., 180 Ibs.) Belgian-born Alabaman who now lives in La Jolla, Calif. Ranked a lowly 28th in the U.S., DuPre tiptoed into the first round and ambushed fourth-seeded Vitas Gerulaitis, 24. "I consider myself basically a pretty horrendous grass player," DuPre said afterward. Four matches later, in one of the most uproarious quarter finals ever staged on hallowed Center Court, DuPre outgunned the handsome, acrobatic Italian, Adriano...

...democracy synonymous with decadence? France's indefatigable political pundit, Raymond Aron, 74, for one, answers a thunderous "No!" His 28th book, In Defense of Decadent Europe (Regnery/Gateway; $14.95), published in the U.S. in June, makes a formidable case for the democratic pluralism he has upheld for 30 years, often against periodic leftist tides in Western Europe.
