...crew has an excellent stroke in veteran senior Jerry Boak. Like the varsity, the J.V.'s are a young crew with juniors Rich Harper, Woody Harlan and Tim Hackert, and sophomores Dave Porter, Jack Foley, Mark Sieber and Greg Miller...

For nine months, the union has struck the Brookside, Ky., mine of Eastover Mining Co., which is owned by Duke Power, over health and safety standards.

"A venture capitalist looks for a return of ten times his original investment," says Harlan Anderson, head of Anderson Investment Co. in New Canaan, Conn., "but you're lucky if you get that kind of return in one case out of ten, so it evens out." And some venture capitalists go bust along with the businesses they buy into; 400-odd S.B.I.C.s have perished since...
