Last week, in a seven-hour parliamentary debate that at times became a shouting match, Kreisky continued his confusing public stance by repeating his determination to close SchÖnau. Later a government spokesman explained that the Chancellor anticipates doing "nothing that could hinder or in any way endanger the transit of Soviet-Jewish emigres through Austria. We hope we shall come up with a solution in the very near future." Most likely, Kreisky eventually will close SchÖnau and then open another transit center, possibly in a well-guarded building at Schwechat Airport. This would have the double...
Restic admits that the lack of a breakaway threat may hinder the Crimson ground game, but he is quick to point out that the uniform talents of his backfield candidates will give him more flexibility than last year when Wheeler's limited size and pass catching ability severely restricted what the Harvard offense could do out of the backfield. Restic describes his backs as the "tough, ripping, slashing" type, capable of going both ways. But it remains to be seen if their talents will be extensive enough to fulfill Restic's prediction. HALF-BACKS look AVERAGE...

This thinness in personnel will hinder Harvard's chances to push up into the top layer of teams in the League: Cornell, Yale, Penn. The Crimson should be somewhere in with Columbia, Dartmouth, Princeton, and (yes!) Brown. But if people start getting hurt the way they did last year, Harvard can forget it--1973 will be a long and bleak season
...solely to preserve a record for historians, the practice becomes more tolerable. Certainly, a recorder is a more efficient device than a staff member or stenographer taking notes. But taping seems fair only when all parties to a conversation are aware that their words are being recorded. This may hinder candor somewhat, but so does the presence of a notetaker. When only the President is aware of the listening devices, he is in a position to manipulate and distort the historical record with self-serving or misleading statements...
...Nixon such knowledge, Mitchell argued, would either make the President a party to the cover-up or would cause him "to lower the boom" on all those involved and thereby expose their activities. This would lead the public to blame Nixon for the wrongdoing of his associates. It would hinder his re-election chances-and this would be "absolutely unfair and unjustified...
