...Administration felt had become a bit too aggressive. But the Harvard lawyer has shown a broad streak of independence. For starters, he filed an antitrust suit against Exxon and seven other major oil companies who both produce and distribute oil. With Ralph Nader as ally and Budget Director Roy Ash as adversary, Engman has been fighting to require more detailed financial reporting from major U.S. corporations. Recently he attacked TV ads aimed at children. With Engman's approval, an investigation of food pricing is contemplated, and several in the energy field are currently under...

Meanwhile his earnings have gone down from...
...this injustice--if one can call it that--aside, the Cinderella climb of Harvard's baseball team from the ash heap of the Eastern League second division to the Omaha College World Series has ended. The 1974 national collegiate baseball champion has yet to be crowned, but for Harvard's Crimson, the midnight chimes have rung.Crimson righthander MIKE O'MALLEY, who had been Harvard's pressure pitcher during the stretch run to the NCAA District I title, came up with another big performance Saturday against Northern Colorado, tossing a six-hitter and striking out ten. Unfortunately, O'Malley's performance...
