Gripe number two: Not one member of the Harvard offensive line got so much as honorable mention. All you have to do is see Mike Clark play guard for one game and then hear Joe Restic talk about him for five minutes to realize that he is a blue-chipper up front. I think I'm going to buy Mike a bright orange game jersey for next season so the other coaches in the Ivies will notice him for a change when voting time comes around...
...those who find formal restaurants intimidating and expensive, the in-and-out eateries are godsends. No snooty headwaiters, no discomfort over which fork to use; the teen-agers who always seem to be taking orders at the counter are chipper as Munchkins. At many roadside stands the food may indeed be cheap, but it is also inexpensive. Tests have shown that it would cost about two-thirds of the menu price to duplicate some fast-food meals at home.

Doctors worried about lingering high blood pressure, but said the outlook for a "full or nearly full recovery" was excellent. Flanked by Daughters Tricia Cox and Julie Eisenhower, the former First Lady, 64, waved from her wheelchair and told well-wishers: "I feel fine, but I'm a little frightened about the driver." No need. With a steady hand...
...that he had been selected for the costly treatment (about $300 a day) because of his father's position. (These allegations were investigated and dismissed by a medical board of the National Institutes of Health, which operates the Bethesda center.) But most of the time Teddy is remarkably chipper. He likes to read mysteries, watches television, has a citizens' band radio and scans the distant skyline of Washington with binoculars from his sealed 13th-floor window. Says Psychiatrist Stephen Hersh: "He's an emotionally healthy and well-adjusted person...
