...smell of neatsfoot Oil in the air and the sound of Loyal Park saying "You're all in the picture" can only mean that baseball season is just around the corner. With this in mind, belated congratulations to Paul Halas, Harvard's answer to the strong, silent type. Paul will captain the 1978 edition of the Crimson nine...
...separatism? Why now? For the Parti Québécois, the answer is simple logic: a people with a common language, customs and culture should "naturally" form a nation-state.

Such...
...answer is a difficult one, as is drawing a distinction between Brown's "era of limits" and the basic philosophy of limitation put forth by Carter in his State of the Union speech. Equally perplexing is a consideration of whether Carter's campaign slogan "Why Not the Best?" applies to all of us in this society or just to him--just his best? Perhaps some of this would be clarified in a 1980 Carter-Brown slugfest...
