...caught a 29-yd. Brian Buckley touchdown pass last weekend. You see, no one could remember the last time a Dunster resident had even appeared on the gridiron, so the junior was widely hailed at the post-game "Zorbels" .... The Crimson's secret weapon this weekend may be Delta Air Lines. The gridders are flying to Philadelphia today, avoiding the eight-hour bus ride. This certainly will help their state-of-mind if not their play.... Look for sophomore Don Allard to take over for Buckley if Harvard gets a comfortable lead. Restic was impressed with Allard's running...
...soon. There is a lot of truth in the old saying that: "Whether you go to heaven or hell, you have to change planes in Atlanta." Indeed, 72% of all travelers landing in Atlanta stay only long enough to catch another flight. Both Eastern and Delta Airlines use the airport as the center of their Southern networks. Eastern passengers flying south from Mobile to Miami, for example, can get there only by first flying north to Atlanta...
...Saturday alone, three planes were forcibly detoured to Cuba: an Eastern Air Lines 727 en route to Orlando; a Republic Air Lines DC-9 headed from Miami to Orlando; and a Delta Air Lines widebody L-1011, flying from Puerto Rico to Los Angeles with 165 aboard.

Wilkie, 39, is an affable Mississippian with an accent that sounds like marbles rolling around in a pail of Delta mud. A drooping mustache and gray-streaked hair that tumbles over his collar contribute to an aspect somewhere between a Confederate cavalry officer and Catfish Hunter. He began his career with the Clarksdale (Miss.) Press Register (circ. 7,325), got his first taste of national politics-and a highly flattering portrayal in The Boys on the Bus, Timothy Grouse's book about the 1972 campaign-at the Wilmington (Del.) News Journal (circ. 133,000) and hired...
...have to go to the Mekong Delta to find signs of what Harvard isn't doing quite right because you can find them as close as the course catalogue or in Brookline. Walk down Dunster St. and take a look at the building at #77, the home of the Afro-American Studies Department. Born of what the dean later called an "academic Munich"--at a time when students sat in University Hall and demanded that ROTC be thrown off campus and didn't leave until the president called in the Cambridge police, who beat heads and spilled blood...
