...second game with Boston College came close to fulfilling expectations, and indeed at the time seemed to be a turning point in the season. With 20/20 hindsight, it is easy now to see that B.C. was suffering from the same problems of disunity which have plagued Harvard all season. Harvard's 79-65 victory, by far its best performance of the year, is washed down with the honest realization that the Eagles were equally to blame for bad basketball on that night in the IAB, that the Crimson's finest showing must be swallowed with the proverbial grain of salt...
...cities and towns where much of Ford's strength lay: Keene, Nashua, Durham, Portsmouth and Dover. He erred by campaigning in Illinois the day before the primary; New Hampshire Campaign Manager Hugh Gregg, a former Governor, had advised Reagan that further stumping in New Hampshire was unnecessary.

...comic novel. I think now it was the manifesto of which The Joy of Sex commences the implementation." To have read Come Out to Play is like having witnessed an apple fall on Sir Isaac Newton's head: a ho-hum incident at the time but noteworthy in hindsight. As a sex book without a single sex scene, it is a tame reminder of how things have changed since 1961. And as the story of a sex clinic conceived before the advent of Masters and Johnson, it is a fine instance of low-grade art that life so often...
