Still, Reagan's optimism seemed forced. His initial strategy-a blitzkrieg in New Hampshire and Florida that would knock Ford out of the race-had failed. Rather than quit, however, Reagan changed his strategy. Now his wishful thinking has him picking up enough delegates in primaries in the South, Southwest and West to keep Ford from getting the nomination on the first ballot. On subsequent ballots, Reagan envisions attracting enough uncommitted delegates to win the nomination for himself...
...have not given up their long-term goal of dominating all of Europe, by force if necessary. Indeed, Soviet forces are no longer primarily defensive, as they were until the mid-1960s.

After all, the group first became famous for smashing guitars, trashing amplifiers and wreaking havoc for the edification of its audience. In any case, Daltrey says, "we go our separate ways...
Fitzsimmons preceded Columbia's Paul Heck across the line, who in turn preceded Benjamin Franklin and the hordes of Quakers who turned this tri-meet into a blitzkrieg. Four additional Columbia runners also made an appearance at the finish line before the next Harvard runner, Jeff Campbell, arrived, and in so doing, guaranteed the Crimson's second double dip in four days...
