The call was a little grating to Republican Devine because the President had been making a virtual family project of unseating him in next month's elections.

Besides, remarked St. Louis' John Carberry, "some of the Cardinals from Africa live in no better conditions back in their archdioceses." So the proposal was quashed. The balloting, which begins Sunday, Oct. 15, will...
Under Bob Blackman, who was the winningest coach in Ivy League history before he left. Dartmouth for a sabbatical at Illinois, Cornell has gone undefeated this season with only one tie. The Ithacans have been averaging 227 yards a game rushing and have only thrown a piddling 29 passes...
