...will need to watch the ARVN soldiers dangling from beneath helicopters on the retreat from Laos the way we did, watch G.I. s smoking dope in the barrels of M-16 s. He'll need to see the expressions on the children's faces as the cops in riot gear bash their friends. And to understand Richard Nixon, he'll have to study that damned upper lip and hear him say, "We could pull out--but that would be the easy way." Good night, Dick...
...daughter of two dancers who ran a small ballet school. Her special gifts are a flowing lyricism and a knack for acting. Like Gelsey, Leslie moved through the School of American Ballet and Balanchine's company before joining A.B.T. But Leslie's drive is in slightly lower gear: "Being a star is not what I started out looking for. My only ambition is to be the best...
Harvard got off to a fast start, copping a four-seat lead at 500 meters before Navy made its bid as the boats headed for the bridge. The Middies cut the Crimson margin in half before the hosts decided to put it in high gear. A power-20 at the 1000-meter mark left the Middies lagging a length back before Harvard slammed the door with a second spring down the final stretch to win by two lengths...

There it lay for nearly 2,000 years: the brown Mercedes 450s and the manuals on orgasm, the barnacle-encrusted Jacuzzis, tennis gear, waterlogged paperbacks on obscure Eastern cults, Cuisinarts, bud vases, I.U.D.s and LeRoy Neiman prints, jumbled with the bones of producers and promoters. Archaeologists even found the calcified remains of a Lhasa Apso, pathetically clutching in its teeth the rawhide doggie pacifier it had tried to keep while vainly fleeing the cataclysm: mute testimony to the suddenness with which nature had rebuked (but for future museumgoers, preserved) the frail pretensions...
...rough water churned by a strong tail-wind. The collision jarred Gardiner's oar out of his hand and the entire boat stopped rowing while the bowman, Paul Templeton, handed Gardiner's oar back to him. By the time Harvard got their shell back up to top gear, Brown had sliced the lead to one-quarter of a length. That was as close as the Bruins got. What George Aitken called "some of the best rowing we've done," 40 strokes perminute, stretched the lead quickly to one-half of a length, then to almost a full...
