Team captain Karla Amble and freshman Leslie Voit completed the 5000-meter Vermont course three seconds apart at 19:03 and 19:06, for 53rd and 56th places, respectively. Diane Jacobsen had troubles with the crowd at the starting line, but she recovered to round out the Harvard scoring in 85th place...
...instantaneous communication via space satellite, the art of diplomacy is still practiced, as it was in the days of Talleyrand or Machiavelli, face to face, man to man. That is why Cyrus Roberts Vance, 61, the cool, gray professional who serves as the U.S.'s 56th Secretary of State, last week found himself tossing and twisting on a blue and green sofa bed some 35,000 ft. over the Sahara desert.

The capital city of Tehran (pop. 3.8 million) glowed from the light of millions of colored lamps. As part of the festivities, the Shah and lissome Empress Farah reviewed a mass exhibition of gymnasts in the $185 million...
...Resemblance. Ford's press conference was his first as President but the 56th that he has held since Dec. 6, when he was inaugurated as Vice President. It took place in the White House's East Room, which was jammed with newsmen, just as it had been for his predecessor's infrequent sessions with reporters-37 in 5½ years as President. But there the resemblance to the Nixon press conferences ended...
