Harvard's hitters produced more runs over the weekend than they had in the seven previous EIBL games this season, and it looked as if the Crimson was going to climb into first place with a three-game sweep of Army and Cornell when the Big Red scored six runs in the eighth inning to win the second game of Saturday's doubleheader, 14-8. Harvard beat the Cadets the day before, 7-5, and earlier in the afternoon Roz Brayton delivered his customary shut-out while his teammates hit three home runs to humiliate the former league leaders...
Trying to fix the blame for the high price of food has become a national preoccupation-a noisy adult version of pin the tail on the donkey, played by politicians, supermarketeers, farmers and consumers.

That was it, but at that moment you knew that...
Seawell, the new chairman and chief, is expected to fire more people. He takes charge at a time when many airlines are in a steep climb; as a group they lost $125 million last year but expect to be well in the black this year. Pan Am, still saddled with too many jumbo jets and no domestic routes, may be left behind. Its archrival, TWA, turned around from a $63 million loss in 1970 to a profit last year. Seawell, formerly president of Rolls-Royce's U.S. subsidiary and senior vice president of American Airlines, is known...
