There is one other activity in the small town, however--running--which the Harvard women's cross country team did with great proficiency Saturday when it placed eighth in the National AIAW 5000-Meter Championships on a soggy and challenging Highland Golf Course...

Eight lessons cost $55. The gym, begun in 1973, had revenues last year of $250,000 and profits before taxes of $100,000, a pulse-quickening return of 40%. Thirty-five million pairs...
