Harvard's pass defense frustrated the Tigers all afternoon. Princeton marched to the Crimson's 16 early in the fourth quarter and Steve Golden came up with a diving interception. Princeton quickly got the ball back again and drove to the Harvard 27 before Gary Farneti stepped in and picked off a third down pass...

He said that Merrill Lynch had gone along because a Goodbody collapse "might hamper the orderly functioning of the nation's capital markets." Regan drove a hard bargain. Exchange officials had to agree to assess the 578 member firms a total of $30 million to guarantee Merrill Lynch against losses that it might suffer in taking over Good-body. At week's end, it was still uncertain whether Merrill Lynch will absorb Goodbody by itself...
