...improved steadily as '54 grew older. As freshmen, the team won only once, but with the arrival of the backfield of Dick Clasby and the senator from Iowa, the Crimson went six and two in their senior year. According to a Crimson editorial, the victory over Yale in The Game--the first Harvard win in the Yale Bowl since 1941--"cast a self-satisfied glow over the College...
Lance's activities, and those of Co-Defendants Richard Carr, Thomas Mitchell and H. Jackson Mullins, were not all that complex. While his friend and client Billy Carter was said to be "kiting" checks, Lance was apparently kiting banks. He played the game with a series of unsecured loans, the Government charges, borrowing from one bank to pay off another; his relatives and associates took out more than 383 loans from more than 40 banks. Long-term overdrafts were also used as interest-free loans, the indictment states. In 1975, 21 associates and friends, who held less than...
...Canadiens won with a marvelous demonstration of why they are hockey's dynasty. Montreal was humiliated by the quick and aggressive Rangers in the series' opening game, losing 4-1 in a rout so thorough that fans in the Montreal Forum could not believe their eyes. Nor could the Montreal players believe their ears. Ken Dryden, the league's top goaltender for the past three years, was booed out of the nets and replaced by Michel ("Bunny") Larocque. Defenseman Larry Robinson, a 6-ft. 3-in. version of the legendary Bobby Orr, suffered a special torture...
When the Rangers opened the second game by scoring two goals against Dryden in less than seven minutes, the impossible seemed possible. Then the Canadiens found the miracle wrecker in Left Wing Bob Gainey. Gainey is the stuff of dynasties as surely as are Lafleur, Jean Beliveau and Maurice ("Rocket") Richard from earlier teams, an example of the depth of talent that Montreal assembles to support its stars. In six N.H.L. seasons, Gainey, 25, has averaged fewer than 15 goals a year, concentrating instead on the less dramatic, but equally vital skills of a defensive forward...
...Washington Post, news reporters--especially on cityside--constantly battle in a cutthroat competition to get their stories on the front page, and consequently tend to go for the quickie scandal rather than the drawn-out drudgery of research into government processes and problems. At The New York Times, the game is total, Machiavellian office politics. Executive editor Abe Rosenthal sits like Jehovah on his throne, flashing thunderbolts from his fingertips at any lower-echelon staffer who incurs his disfavor. Former Crimson president Richard Meislin '75 snagged a Times job right out of college as Rosenthal's copyboy--bottom...
