...Right offered a long list of piecemeal reforms amounting to a mere embellishment of the status quo. The Left wanted a massive attack on unemployment; the Right denounced this scheme as inflationary and likely to lead to a huge payments crisis. The Left in turn denounced its opponents' indifference to unemployment and inequality. The verdict of the voters was both clear and negative. They failed to endorse the Left's projects for a new society. But the fact that the Majority received only 46 per cent of the first ballot (vs. the Left's 48 per cent) indicates that they...

"Our defense can play with any attack in the country," claimed goalie Kenny First last night. And against Hopkins, the man who showed that most clearly was Miller. The freshman standout from Baltimore played man-to-man against All-American Mike O'Neil, who won the award as the best attackman in the nation last year.
