...Carter, who once promised a wide range of populist reforms, including revisions of the tax and welfare systems, has been a great disappointment to many voters. He has presided over one of the worst outbreaks of inflation in American history (currently 13%, the highest since price controls were lifted at the end of World War II), and now, in an attempt to control that inflation, he is supporting policies that have caused the prime interest rate to rise to unprecedented levels (currently as much as 15¼%).

Though the rain hampered them againts the Bruins, Harvard's backs moved the ball little in the first half and not at all in the second, not auspicious sign for a team that wants to keep its defense off the field...
