...replace such shows as Laugh-In, which is now only a tired reminder of the hit of the '60s, and Circle of Fear, which tried to be ghostly but was never more than ghastly. In The Magician Bill Bixby, in the title role, plays a top-hatted Robin Hood who aids the distressed when he is not pulling rabbits out of hats. Comedian Dom DeLuise will play a clerk in the lost and found department of a New York bus line. Like such hits as All in the Family and Sanford and Son, the new show, Lotsa Luck...
After two-thirds of the six-mountain schedule, Harvard ski team captain Steele has crashed in such varied locales as the Mission Ridge, Washington slalom; in the Mt. Hood Giant Slalom; and in the Dick Springer Memorial Slalom at Mammoth Mt., Calif...

As Steele and Carter race against the likes of Bobby Cochran and several just-off-the-World Cup-circuit Europeans at Snoqualmie, Washington, Mt. Hood and Mammoth Mountain, they will likely remember the Harvard Athletic Department fondly, for the men at 60 Boylston St. found enough cash out of special funds to pay for the skiers' air fare...
