...field, they are finance majors (all Bs and Cs), who fret mildly because they cannot find identical twins to date-"not even unattractive ones." But on the field, they butt heads with unalloyed pleasure. Drawls Stanford Coach Jack Curtice: "Those boys could go bear hunting with a switch and come back with meat." Admits Marlin: "We get. sheer pleasure out of football-out of knocking people down. It's just plain...

Since 1953, Leipzig University has been called Karl-Marx University, "model of the socialist type of university." Last week Leipzig, which took six centuries to build, was a model of how to kill a great institution in six years...
