...combat the challenge, Harvard offers a defense which leads the nation in fewest points allowed per game...
...story to equal Allen's. The Los Angeles team that George inherited in 1966 had not enjoyed a winning season since 1958. That first year under Allen, the Rams won eight games and lost six. Last year, they scored the most points (398) in the N.F.L., allowed the fewest (196), and posted a record of eleven victories, one defeat and two ties before finally losing the Western Conference title in a play-off with Lombardi's Packers. So far this year, the Rams have won seven games, lost only one, and they are the choice of many experts...

Syria lost the least territory and the fewest men, was left saddled with the smallest refugee burden and, to its everlasting discredit, came out with much of its military armor untarnished by combat. With hardly a pause, the Syrians thus took up their prewar belligerence right where they had left off. If anything, the Baathist Party members who rule the country have become more brazen; even Egypt...
