...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. Taylor has been recovering from a pulled hamstring injury incurred in England last year...
...hopeful spring, the Sox rally to tie it in the sixth. Dwyer hits a double, Allenson a single. Sizemore hits what looks like a sure double-play ball, but Allenson comes into the keystone like a cruise missile. Dwyer scores. Bang.

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. Perhaps best known for his ironic aphorism, "Marxism is the opium of the intellectuals," Aron has produced a challenging critique of the messianic illusions about a Communist Utopia...
