...sophomore, joined Dave on the Harvard varsity. Like his brother, a conquest of super-recruiter Francis P. Locke '33, Paul moved up from fifth string running back at the start of the season to making the traveling squad. Dave's pride in his brother's achievements does not, however, extend to Paul's defection from the ranks of Notre Dame fans...
...approaches the plate. Lynn has the prettiest swing in baseball and a grace in centerfield that evokes DiMaggio, at least for those who remember that inspired Yankee Centurion. It's hard to capture the feeling of exaltation a player like Lynn can create, how he can--man versus ball--extend the horizons of human potential, at least during the brief span of a game.

It is ironic that the Washington outsider whose 1976 campaign platform promised to pare down the overgrown federal blob has thrown his support behind a proposal that will further crowd the Washington community and further extend a tradition of Washington mismanagement. A separate cabinet-level Department of Education, is the easy way out. For more than 30 years, education has been the orphan child of the Washington bureacracy--drifting from the Interior Department to the Federal Security Agency and finally coming to rest at HEW.
