...question this characterization of the radical sections, since the only attribute students in these sections seem to share is a heightened intellectual curiousity. What is more troubling, however, is Feldstein's effort to defeat the substantive mission of these sections with questions of procedure. Ec 10 would benefit from the inclusion of as many alternate economic views as time reasonably allows. Crucial, however, is some attention to radical or Marxist critique of the mainsteam, neo-classical model. Currently, this material is covered briefly in the coursewide program, but somewhat seriously only in the radical sections...
...swimming team was pretty surprised itself, when Navy and Columbia beat the Crimson on successive days. The defeat at Navy broke a 32-meet winning streak and the loss at Columbia dropped Harvard's seven-year mark to 58-3. But somehow, the aquamen managed to tie for the Eastern league crown and, in top form by season's end, eked out their sixth consecutive Eastern Seaboard title...
...contrast, the Liberal Party, headed by Prime Minister John Turner, won only 40 seats, down from 147 in 1980. The defeat was not only a loss for Turner but a national repudiation of the party dominated by the cosmopolitan, sometimes cavalier Pierre Elliott Trudeau, under whose leadership the Liberals had ruled Canada for all but nine months since 1968.

Earlier this month, in a Cook County, Ill., case that was part of the Greylord investigation of judicial corruption, Judge John G. Laurie was cleared of bribery and other charges in part because the jury did not believe testimony...
...Southern Cal. But in the eyes of most of the world, real football came to the Rose Bowl last week, when Olympic soccer teams took the field. A throng of more than 100,000, the largest audience ever for a soccer game in the U.S., gathered to watch France defeat Brazil 2-0 in the final match last Saturday. The confrontation was the climax of a cross-country tournament that drew cheering crowds in Cambridge, Mass., Annapolis, Md., and Palo Alto, Calif., and had as competitors teams from such unlikely lands as Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Cameroon. Both finalists survived...
