Included among the trade-off victories were two consecutive forfeited bouts, one to each school. At 137, Harvard's Bruce Goodman suffered a dislocated elbow in the third period of his match with Jack Wu. But the five points M.I.T. received for that match had hardly been tallied on the score board when M.I.T.'s Jack Maxham, at 145, dislocated his knee. It meant a first-period forfeit victory to Harvard's Jeff Seder, and a matching five points for the Crimson in the team score...
...when Biafra capituates, Gowon will have even less elbow-room. Ibo resistance has hardly pacified the Hausas. And far from convincing the Ibos they belong in Nigeria, the war seems likely to reinforce their determination to escape the Federation Despite federal precautions, there seems little hope of avoiding a massive slaughter of Ibos as Hausa troops march through Ibo villages. Last year's wounds, it appears are going to be reopened with a vengance. Nigeria cannot hope for a lasting peace until it reconstitutes its government on a non-tribal basis...
...Elbows. The new racket that Scott, Graebner and King used at Forest Hills looks for all the world like an oversized tea strainer. Made of tubular, chromium-plated steel, it is far more flexible than a wooden racket; its open-throat construction permits a faster swing with less effort.

Plagued for months by a painful case of "tennis elbow," he switched from wood to steel in July and the pain disappeared...
...some $5 billion, double their output in 1962. By the early '70s, Diebold predicts, the business will triple to $15 billion a year. Though 80% of the nation's computers are leased, most are on direct rental from manufacturers. The computer-leasing firms have been able to elbow their way in by the classic route of price cutting. They generally charge at least 10% less than the manufacturer's rental fee. In doing so, they are betting that they can keep their costly machines continuously leased for as long as ten years, or about double the payoff...
Unquestionably, Susan Sontag tries too. The novel is arduously worked out, with the author always at the reader's elbow, adding explanations ("to a man wielding a microscope, his own seeing eyes are blind"), pointing out high spots, summing up. The only thing she could do (now) to help the book would be to write one of her well-reasoned essays to explain why she wrote...
