...white college or graduate school can be an almost impermeable maze of trials, tasks, hurdles and psychological leaps. If the challenges to these students were only academic, as they are to the "norm" students, the stage would be a flat arena, with plenty of room for constructive trial and error. Instead, the setting is a labyrinth, where each decision may mean ultimate failure not only for the individuals, but, they feel, for their entire race or culture.

...election. Moynihan, who began the campaign with an estimated 13 percentage point advantage over his incumbent opponent, has watched his lead shrink to a mere four to six points though the most recent polls show him making a comeback.

Pinning the New Yorkers back with superb defense-aided by sloppy Yankee fielding-the Reds ran up a 6-2 win. Another Perez play typified the Reds' call on greatness. With runners on first and second and no outs, Perez made a leaping catch of a rifled line drive. He ignored the easy tag on the runner at first and fired to second...
