Northeastern has always been a pesky squad. usually shallow in talent. but it perennially seems to knock Harvard off its precise. position-play strategy. It usually scores on its opponents defensive lapses, and employs a rough, Canadian-style checking game to keep the enemy offense from cohering. It achieved both goals last night...
FORTUNE AND MEN'S EYES, by Canadian Playwright John Herbert, was, when originally presented in 1967, a scorching indictment of the prison system, with its brutal guards and tyrannizing homosexual inmates. As restaged by Sal Mineo, complete with the added attractions of blood, gore, a nude rape scene and an almost totally inept cast, it turns out to be nothng more than a carefully placed kick in the groin...
Call for Guides. The present law has a special twist for Latin Americans and Canadians. For the first time, it set a limit on their immigration (120,000 a year), but it established no job-preference guides.

This capital outlay is larger than the $144 million that Inco earned after taxes on its sales of $767 million last year...
