...many Harvard upperclassmen would find that situation palatable. Years of conditioning with Heinekens or strawberry dacquiris have taught them that a happy glow at dinner might be the best way to start off a weekend. Gov. Edward J. King's election seemed to snarl that pattern, since King railroaded through the legislature the 20-year-old drinking age. However, most Harvard students found last spring that King's legal grip did not extend far into Harvard Houses.

Says he: "Large companies could care less about the guy who has a $100,000 idea. They'd lose that in the paper-clip account."
