...They have outfits and we don't. That's why they're good," Julia Moore said during Susy Handy's match. Handy was getting thrashed by Wellesley's Marilyn Butterfield, but it was one of only two wins, as Radcliffe trounced Wellesley...
...editors--L.H. Butterfield, who edited John Adams's diary and autobiography, Marc Friedlander and Mary-Jo Kline--make it clear from the outset that they want a book that will be read and not studied. They succeed.

Nevertheless, Schorr says, "I still think my only alternative was to go. We're in a strange business here in TV news. You can't check...
