...nearly virginal Harlequin romances, passion never goes above a whisper: "She gasped with helplessness and fright and another subtler emotion that she could not understand." Masters and Johnson could furnish her with a working hypothesis, but even the more oestrous Richard Gallen Books line purrs only a little louder: "Sweet spasms of oneness curled within her." All this heavy breathing is as calculated as a publisher's earnings statement; according to industry surveys, readers want the sex wrapped in euphemisms and the future tied in pink ribbons...
...pipeline will provide many other benefits for Moscow. Once the Soviets have paid off the loans made to finance its construction, within eight to ten years, gas sales to the West will supply badly needed foreign currency. The pipeline will also furnish the infrastructure for the overall development of natural-gas fields and oilfields in Siberia, where progress has been stunted because of the region's remoteness and hostile climate...
...both facts and scoops, can be awfully moral about protecting their sources, while in reality being very practical about not shutting off the flow.

In a situation where one side--the faculty and administration--holds all formal power, and the other side--students--holds none, the dominant group is unlikely to yield any of its absolute authority voluntarily. That power is to be taken; it will...
While the traditional rhetoric about how balanced the Ivies are and how many schools have a shot at the crown sounds familiar, this fall promises to furnish an exciting derby down to the last Saturday. The consensus among the league's coaches seems to be that only Penn and Columbia are removed from the thick of things, but that those two squads will both be improved. At this point, no team stands above the rest of the crowd the way Yale did last year--and we all know what happened to Yale last year...
