...only possible Crimson victories will be at 118 and 190 with veterans Dan Blakinger and Richie Starr, both of whom are undefeated this season. The wrestlers are the only Harvard starters with experience in national college meets. Blakinger placed third in the 1971 National AAU tourney and Starr nabbed fifth in the 1971 NCAA meet...
...Scott, here directing his first feature film. Scott shows a sharp instinct for depicting edgy, nagging uncertainty and isolating a look or a gesture that takes on indefinably ominous implications, as when two doctors quickly clutch each other's forearms in a cabalistic grip. He also plays Dan Logan, with a kind of distance that seems to be restraint at first but comes to look very much like indifference.

(The Army curtailed "open air" testing in 1969, but did not completely eliminate it.) In Rage it is not necessarily alarming that the military conducts such...
Only grappling veteran Dan Blankinger (118) and freshman George Baker (142) pulled off convincing wins in the light and middle weights. Sophomore Mike Dee fell victim to what Harvard coach John Lee called "stage fright" and lost his third and fourth straight matches of the season...
