Tensions subsided when Khomeini ordered his countrymen not to harm foreigners, but President Carter's suggestion at midweek that force might be used put correspondents on the spot once again. Back at the Inter Continental Hotel, the informal headquarters for foreign journalists, several Americans conspicuously began sitting with West Germans in the dining room and learning the words to O Canada.

Warren was known for declaring his opinions clearly and strongly at the outset, cutting through legalisms to ask persistently, ''Is it right? Is it fair?'' Burger is more tentative. Some of his colleagues wonder...
...year-old cup is the oldest inter-collegiate rivalry in North America; this year McGill was outmatched by the Harvard team. The Crimson forwards dominated the throw-ins and scrums as Keith Oberg, the hooker, won 85 per cent of the hooks and allowed the scrum to win the ball consistently...
