Penn State did all this, and still remained the Avis of big-time college football. It was a frequent also-ran in the weekly A.P. and U.P.I, polls of sportswriters and coaches, but never was it No. 1. This year, however, the men from State College, Pa., finally made it to the top -first in all the polls and, after last week's 17-10 win over intrastate rival Pittsburgh, the only major unbeaten team left in the nation...

The press, which was partly unshackled last month, successfully won an end to all censorship. Employees of the government-financed National Iranian Radio and Television network, who struck for the second time last week, demanded-and got-Premier Jaafar Sharif-Emami's assurance that there would be no more government interference. Workers at one Tehran daily even struck...
