Lipavsky's broadside caused much discomfort in the Carter Administration. Shortly after Shcharansky was charged with treason last June. President Carter broke a Washington policy of not commenting on spy charges* and said publicly what the Soviets had already been told privately: Shcharansky, Carter announced, "has never had any sort of relationship to our knowledge with the CIA." The Administration had hoped that this might halt the Soviet momentum toward a Shcharansky trial, but it has not been successful; the trial is expected to begin soon-after the Belgrade conference on human rights closes...
Packing nine team members into cars and driving to Amherst proved the only discomfort for the men's squash team yesterday as they made the journey but then breezed right by with a 8-1 win.

For the workers, living on a $30 a week union allowance, the weeks ahead and the upcoming holiday season leave little to be thankful for. For the students, more weeks of the strike mean more discomfort and disruption of their educations. Sen. George McGovern (D.S.D.) and Secretary of Labor Ray Marshall have acted wisely in cancelling speeches at Yale recently, to avoid crossing union picket lines; that students were unable to hear them is the fault of the unyielding Yale administration...
