This weekend's game against Penn is a case in point. Penn clearly had more talent man for man than Harvard. They had explosive offensive potential with caliber players like Santiago Formosa and John Borozzi. They possessed a talented midfield anchored by Tom Bartolino, again outclassing the Crimson in terms of settling, dribbling and passing the ball...
Across the Formosa Strait on Taiwan, the Nationalist regime has made a point of preserving the Peking-opera heritage. After appropriating $400,000, the regime dispatched a 73-member troupe to the U.S. to present the operatic form to more than 30 cities in a 3½-month tour (see color pages). After opening last month in Honolulu, the troupe played Los Angeles and San Francisco last week, and by November will have reached Chicago, Boston, New York, Washington, D.C., and Vancouver. If the tour ends as well as it started, it will be a major step toward American acceptance...

They have been rivals for centuries and locked in war -military or verbal-almost continuously since the annexation of Formosa (Taiwan) by Japanese troops in 1895. So far, Chou has not publicly softened his oft-expressed view that Japan's economic growth "is bound to bring about military expansion." Given the history of hostility on both sides, the prospect is thus for a summit of convenience, not for a summit of real reconciliation...
...CHINA RAPPROCHEMENT: "Mao told me in August 1965 that only the richest country in the world [the U.S.] could come to the help of the poorest [China]. As for Taiwan, I think mainland China and Formosa agreed long ago that Taiwan would become part of Mao's China after the death of Chiang Kai-shek...
