...behind Sharif Khan. Bill Kaplan--captain of the 1976-77 Crimson racquetmen, is ranked thirteenth...Most of the members of the men's squash team received a special kind of inspiration prior to leaving for the match against Princeton last week.

Nancy Reagan and Barbara Bush will toast a "distinguished ladies" reception for 7,000 on Monday...
...tension in his dancing and incredible concentration. I think he's really going to make it." Concurs Anna Kisselgoff, chief dance critic for the New York Times: "You don't have to be a Republican to tell that Ron Reagan is a very talented dancer." Yet Ron remains modest about his progress and cautious about his newly acquired notoriety. Says he: "You realize very fast that you could become another Margaret Truman...
