...team Cat Ferrante, as women's soccer co-captain, takes to Greensboro, N.C. this weekend for the AIAW national championships is a dark-horse candidate for the title, and perhaps the best Harvard soccer team she has played on, in a group of good ones. But ironically, the year of her greatest success marks a changing of the guard in the women's soccer program, with Ferrante a member of the old guard...
...Democratic Party of Jimmy Carter that paved the way for Reagan's victory. It was Carter and the Democrats who whipped up an anti-Soviet fever with the hypocritical "human rights" campaign.

...Greensboro, N.C., 1981--The problems haven't gone away. The Klan is larger and richer than ever and they have proven that they can get away with murder. The enemies are becoming visible again--the radical right, an administration determined to oppress the Third World, the neo-conservatives. Again this country will have to be set straight. But it won't be done with hate, and the rhetoric of humanity will be more effective than the rhetoric of revolution. A new movement can begin to build, must begin to build, to continue where SNCC derailed. With any luck, it will...
