Gray, daughter of Yale historian Hajo Holborn, is an expert in European intellectual history who was educated at Bryn Mawr and Harvard. As acting head of Yale, she has slashed fearlessly at Yale's budget and also is weathering a bitter two-month strike by the university's 1,400 blue-collar workers. "She's head and shoulders over the other internal candidates," says one respected faculty member. Yet, he adds, "many of the Old Blues, on whom the university is dependent for much of its future funding, would never accept a woman as president...
Navy must have looked at the recruiting list, and decided that where there's smoke, there's fire.CrimsonStephen K. DiehlCrimson co-captain DUNCAN PYLE races to a second-place finish in the 200-yd. individual medley during Saturday's meet with Navy. Pyle and his mates erased bitter memories of last year's 71-42 defeat at the hands of the Midshipmen by cruising to a 72-41 victory.

Egypt has been an implacable enemy in four bitter Arab-Israeli wars that have cost countless thousands of lives and casualties on both sides, yet there was Anwar Sadat standing solemnly at attention as a military band played both the Egyptian national anthem and the Israeli Hatikvah. In the background, gunners fired off a 21-gun salute...
...price controls, but he would raise the ceiling to $1.75 per 1,000 cu.ft. The idea is to give producers more incentive to explore for natural gas, but to prevent them from raising prices to exorbitant levels. The House went along with this proposal; but the Senate, after a bitter, failed filibuster by members from gas-consuming states, voted to remove regulations from all natural gas. The conference committee has yet to get to this issue, but since Carter has said that he will veto any bill that deregulates natural gas, the proper compromise would be a continuance of price...
