...fact that peace has its hazards ?and that it will cost U.S. taxpayers a large amount of money (see box)?should not dim the luster of Carter's diplomatic triumph. Reaction to it has nearly been unanimously positive. "A minor miracle," exclaimed Jim Wright, Democratic majority leader in the House of Representatives. Said New Hampshire Democratic Chief Romeo Dorval: "Now the President can tackle bread-and-butter issues with more confidence. People will look to him with more respect because of what he's accomplished. It was quite a gamble, but worth it." The Republicans made little effort...

If we were administrators would we agree to such a proposal and under what conditions? How can we present our proposal and under what conditions? How can we present our proposal most effectively? A strong case obviously requires meticulous preparation...
...before that game, there's Princeton, this weekend; and the ultimate humiliation for this season of frustration would be a loss to the Tigers. As the prospects for a playoff berth and a salvaged season appear dim, a Beanpot win and a respectable record would make things brighter along the blue line...
