...infusion of new men into the Cabinet gives civilians a numerical edge over the old military officers, who for years have had a monopoly on ministerial portfolios. But a fast shuffle alone is unlikely to satisfy the workers and students who chanted "Change, change" at Nasser.

Of 5,000 Seventh Step graduates so far, only 10% have returned to prison. An ex-New York prisoner named Hiawatha Burris has carved...
...second half Harvard showed it had the depth to play four quarters of rough football. Leo and Gatto took turns pounding out yardage. Fourth down and just 1/2 a yard to go at midfield, Gatto took a handoff and headed for a right end sweep. The Green defense held fast and threw him for a loss...
