...Elis haven't won the Big Three in almost 20 years--not since 1960--so they want this one bad. On the other hand, Princeton, Heptagonal champs for the last four years and currently an uninspiring 6-5, is working on its worse record since 1964 when the squad finished 5-4.

Margaret Mead wrote about the man-eating Mundugumor of New Guinea. There is only one thing wrong with all these reports: they come second or third hand, and are probably false. That is the surprising thesis of a new book called The Man-Eating Myth by Anthropologist William Arens, who believes cannibalism may never have existed anywhere as a regular custom...
