Urging the "separation of constructive criticism of the Administration from the emotional recriminations of the 'You did too' variety," Hussey holds "that the Administration's case is strong enough to warrant the shifting of the debate from what has happened in the past to what can be done in the future...
...sense Author Langewiesche's informative, engaging book is merely a skilful advertisement for flying-for-the-fun-of-it and for the planes which make such flying possible.

With the whole team veteran and newcomer alike, clicking as a unit, Harvard football is getting up from the floor after a short count, still swinging. The genius of Dick Harlow's coaching is undoubted after the way he has molded slightly undermanned Crimson teams to Big Three champions in the last two years. This fall he was faced with a gigantic rebuilding project, and it is not surprising that the going has been...
