...been a major Anderson problem. While his campaign has netted nearly $8 million since April 24, it now needs at least another $1 million for a final TV ad drive. Anderson was buoyed last week by a favorable ruling from the Federal Election Commission that his campaign could borrow from banks against the federal funds he will receive if he gets 5% or more of the November vote. The Democratic National Committee had been warning that such loans were illegal, and banks had been holding up Anderson's application. Now his aides expect to announce a successful loan deal...
...absence of a standard "look" from play to play renders the Multiflex difficult to define or even see on a given play, but the myriad variety of combinations is the whole point: Restic will borrow sets or even entire plays from a veer, or Wishbone or Power I offenses, but will never stay with one formation long enough to allow the defense to know what to expect. As he talks about it, Restic grows animated, actually improvising a play-by-play analysis of the havoc wreaked on a defense: "The ball's coming, they don't know where...

"It would operate precisely the way a homeowner would," he says, adding that the Corporation would charge normal market rates of interest-- now about 12.5 per cent annually. Administrators express little doubt that the Corporation will approve any suggested projects, despite the Faculty's dubious economic position, because renovations will save money in the long run. "If the Faculty has a proposal that makes good economic sense it will pass," Scott...
