...success was short lived. In the next match, Harvard captain Jim Strathmeyer took on a good opponent, Steve Garnett, and came away with a hard fought 7-4 decision...
...HEART AND ONE SOUL. Hen Alfred Tetzlaff is the hero of West Germany's hottest new situation comedy. He is a first cousin to both All in the Family's Archie Bunker and his relative, Alf Garnett of the BBC comedy series Till Death Us Do Part. Herr Tetzlaff is a slobbish, slipper-shod metalworker. Married to an addled blonde whom he calls "dumb cow," he has a jeans-wearing daughter and a liberal son-in-law. He deplores long hair, beards and miniskirts, surefire signs of Germany's moral decline. He also dislikes almost everybody, especially...
Veteran White House Reporter Garnett ("Jack") Horner, 63, described it as "my biggest beat, the high point of 45 years in the newspaper world." It was all of that.

Lear's salesman father, though a second-generation Russian Jew, was almost as much of a source for Archie as Alf Garnett was. He used to call Norman "the laziest white kid I ever saw" and order his wife to "stifle"-both expressions that were to become Archie's. The family shifted restlessly from New Haven, Conn., where Norman was born, to nearby Hartford, then to Boston and New York City...
