Despite the failures of the Crimson to return as the conquering hero, there was a faint silver lining to an otherwise dark weekend. Tatrallyay and Bartels were outstanding, each winning five of six bouts. Against Columbia. Ken Hetzler fenced very well, although he won only one of three bouts. Hetzler dropped two close 5-4 encounters, one to NCAA champ Bruce Soriano, but reversed the score in winning his third bout...

The three children, aged ten to 14, got the idea that their active, clubby mother might be neglecting them. The family learned that the eldest child, Sheri, considered...
...series of quiet diplomatic meetings in the U.S., Europe and Japan last week shaped the faint outlines of a deal. It calls for the U.S. to devalue the dollar by 5% or 7%, by raising either the price of gold or the price of the international Special Drawing Rights. There would be little or no change in the French franc or British pound, but because the dollar would be devalued, French and British goods would tend to be 5% to 7% costlier than U.S. exports...
