Harvard should do well in the individual medleys (200 and 400 yards) and in the backstrokes (100 and 200 yards). The Crimson does not really have anyone to fill the spots vacated by Yntema in the butterfly and by Fullerton in the breaststroke and is not expected to pick up many points there...
...refreshing contrast, Phillips Petroleum agreed, in a court-approved settlement of stockholder lawsuits, to give outside directors 60% of the seats on an expanded board (they fill nine of 17 seats now) and empower them with responsibility for preventing a recurrence of past misdeeds.

And he would've named them if he could have--because Carter likes to fill time and his listeners' ears with long catalogues of problems, kinds of people, possible solutions, more kinds of people, another problem, another catalogue of the American character, etc. "We've got a good country," he says, mountains, fields, streams, valleys, you name it. "And we have a good system of government. Nixon, Watergate...
