ANTHROPOLOGISTS INSIST that man is slowly growing larger, a fraction of an inch each generation, so that 1980 man bumps his head on the doorway that 1850 man sailed under easily. The subspecies of American writers, though, seem even more thyroidal--in the past few decades they have soared in size. Mailer, Wolfe, even John Irving; these men are literary Paul Bunyans, their typewriters 40 axhandles from base to carriage.

And Saturday afternoon during Harvard's 17-17 tie with Princeton at Soldiers Field, the six-foot, one-inch, 210-pound senior did himself 90 better, setting a new Harvard record for carries, with 34, and rambling for the second highest yardage total in Crimson history, a sparkling 190 yards.

Four years at that place is enough to ravage anyone. I tried to rescue her once, and it looks like...
...whites. Since Bophuthatswana is in theory independent, there is no segregation. We were surrounded by Blacks, some of whom shot hostile glances at us or appeared to be sizing us up. We had narrowly escaped being robbed in downtown Johannesburg that morning by a young Black with a six-inch knife. Except when he retreats to his home in the suburbs, the white South African feels immersed in a sea of unfriendly Blacks...
