Princeton-Columbia--The Tigers are right on schedule. Having lost (embarassingly) to a poor team before a large Princeton opening crowd last weekend, Princeton should be ready to win big away from home. The Tigers' ought to rent out Palmer Stadium and buy a fleet of busses. Rod Plummer passed for over 300 yards last Saturday. He will never pass for 100 yards again. But without Columbia's All-American Mike Pyszczymucha, the Columbia announcers and the Princeton running game will have a field day. Princeton 20, Columbia...
...Admiral Karl Donitz, 80, who is well remembered for his short-lived stint as Chief of State in Germany after Adolf Hitler's death, is not happy about his place in history.

Last week the walkout moved into its third month, and there seemed little hope of an early settlement. "It takes a month to get everything shut up tight," says Union President Harry Bridges, who last...
...responsible for the maintenance of 54,000 federally owned vehicles, has converted 1,023 of the autos so that they now use compressed or liquefied natural gas, or butane and propane for fuel. The change reduces the autos' air pollutants by nearly 90%. Eventually the entire federal fleet may be converted to the new fuels...
