Neumann had another strike against him: his close association with Richard Allen, whom Haig dislikes. A scholarly former Ambassador to Afghanistan and Morocco, Neumann was vice chairman of the Georgetown University Center for Strategic and International Studies when Allen, a founder of the center, picked him to head Reagan's transition team at the State Department. Haig considered the team inept and unduly ideological, and dismissed most of its members as soon as he took office. Neumann survived-but without ever gaining the Secretary's trust...

The reformers do not question the need for more spending. Says Edward N. Luttwak, of Georgetown University, one of the most hawkish members of the movement: "We have underfunded defense so much so long that it would be almost impossible now to spend more and not do some good...

Harvard placed third in the two-mile relay, won by overall champions Penn State in 8:46, but was just edged out of second place in the last 100 yards by Georgetown's team, described as "very tough" by head coach Pappy Hunt. However, the 9:04 time run by the team of co-captain Becky Rogers, Grace de Fries, Lucy Ashley, and co-captain Martha Clabby shaved 1.69 seconds off the old Harvard outdoor record, set at last year's Easterns...
