...though Columbus is Ohio's second largest city?behind Cleveland, ahead of Cincinnati?with a metropolitan population of about 1.1 million, and shows signs of considerable prosperity, it does not have a major symphony orchestra, a notable theater, a ballet troupe, or a big-league art museum. It also does not possess a single tablecloth restaurant of even one-star distinction. If you want a good French dinner, they say, try Maisonette or Pigall's in Cincinnati, a two-hour drive. For topnotch Chinese food, head for Pan-Asia in Cleveland, northeast on the interstate. Some swear that a first...
...scrambling to buy every last drop available. Lines as long as eight blocks have formed at those gas stations still open; motorists have waited three hours or more to fill up. At some stations, drivers who rose groggily at dawn to hunt for gas have had to queue up behind long lines of cars parked and locked by people who had left them there overnight.

Another ten will almost certainly back it though they say that they are still undecided. Definitely opposing the pact are some 20 hardliners, such as Barry Goldwater, Henry Jackson and Jesse Helms, who distrust just about any arms deal with the Soviets. Joining these hawks probably will...
...stage was set. This was to be a showdown of rival Harvard and Yale, the likes of which had never before been seen. The one new twist to the story, though, was that Yale had been given the inside track. Harvard went in an underdog, seeded second behind Yale in every race but the J.V. lightweight contest (where Yale had a very weak boat...
