...took the nation's eighth-ranked Pennsylvania Quakers a quarter to warm up, but once they did. Harvard never had a chance. The Crimson stickmen were victimized by a seven-goal Quaker out-burst during the middle two periods and were on to lose their fourth successive contest of the spring, 13.9, on the Business School field last Saturday...
Then, with stunning suddenness, the war burst upon the U.S. all over again. Hué, Danang, Pleiku, Kontum-hearing the names once more is like suffering a relapse of some virulent disease.

Its first issue's cover girl was Wonder Woman, and she embodied the rising hopes for the new venture. Contrary to the usual pattern of American business, however, a dozen imitation "feminist" magazines have not sprung up in its wake. So Ms. is left being the sole mass-media spokeswoman for the woman's movement--a difficult position, to say the least. As Wonder Woman's face fades...
