...Eighties saw radical changes in Harvard football: systematic coaching, organized practice, a training table, and faculty rulings. Games at first were not allowed in Cambridge until after four o'clock in the afternoon, and in 1885 the sport was placed under a University ban--lifted the following winter. In the fall of 1890, a Harvard team broke through and defeated Yale for the first time since...
...quarrel grew from Iceland's unilateral decision to extend its territorial waters to a twelve-mile limit and to ban fishing by foreigners within that area (TIME, June 16). Britain's answer was to escort its trawler fleet with frigates of the Royal Navy, far more powerful than the one-gun patrol boats of the Icelandic coast guard. The British point: if Iceland gets away with a twelve-mile limit, other nations with valuable fishing grounds-Norway, Denmark, Canada-might follow suit...
Last week the Post came to the public conclusion that magazine morality no longer demands a ban on booze. Starting with the Oct. 4 issue, it will accept liquor advertising.

The exchange declined, though it reimposed its moratorium last week-leaving the shorts still holding...
...tells it, a "mighty and rich gentleman of Mexico" named Don Pedro Mejia joined with a viceroy to monopolize all the Indian maize and wheat in the country. The Indians and the poor appealed to the church, and Mexico's archbishop put the extortioner under a ban of excommunication. This failed to move the rich skinflint, so the church suspended all divine service. This meant total war, and the viceroy moved to arrest the archbishop. Gage's picture of the archbishop-mitered, robed, with the Host in his hand defying the King's officers-is a great...
