Kosygin's replacement by a man only a year younger once again dramatized the aging fragility of the Soviet leadership. Although he has appeared robust and vigorous in his recent public appearances, Brezhnev is 73 and suffers from a host of ailments, reportedly including cancer of the jaw and heart disease. The average age of the inner circle of the ruling 15-man Politburo is 69. Most Kremlinologists agreed that the Kosygin move did not presage any major shake-up or policy shift.

He comes apart when pressure is put on him, and that's just what...
Buchanan, who played well in the UMass game last year before suffering a broken jaw, will probably lead a ball control offense, as Restic seeks to establish the running game that looked so good against Holy Cross, then disappeared against Army. Senior Paul Connors, finally nearing full strength after an injury-plagued fall, will get his first start of the year along with Jim Callinan and Tom Beatrice in the backfield...
