...then there was the depletion of the coaching ranks. In late March, Reardon fired women's basketball Coach Carole Kleinfelder after her embattled squad had completed an abysmal 4-21 season. Less than a week later, men's soccer Coach George Ford handed in his resignation, and at the end of a New England championship season men's volleyball Coach Mike Palm told his spikers that he does not intend to return next year. In addition, men's track Coach Bill McCurdy had announced last spring that he intended to end his 30-year Harvard career after the 1982 campaign...
...this point, no replacements have been found for Ford, Kleinfelder, or Palm and athletic department standing committees will screen applicants for each position this summer.

Two winters ago, the price of heating oil increased by more than 25%, and the utility bill jumped to $175. "Every time things seemed under control," says Jane, "some emergency would blow everything sky high...
...that I was closing the account. We only had one card of everything, and now they threw two cards on us." "We started moving up in cars," adds Bill. From "a junker, tied together with a sheet," they progressed to a newer used car and then their first new Ford Galaxie in 1965.
