Dartmouth's defense was ranked tenth nationally last year, and should still be strong if a replacement for New York Jet rookie Gregg Robinson can be found. The linebackers, led by All-League aspirant Jell Hickey are strong in the Dartmouth tradition, the secondary experienced. And, as is always the case, if Dartmouth can beat Harvard for the first time in half a decade, its entire season will be justified...
Giulini and Mehta illustrate strikingly the contrasts in modern conductors: the older, painstakingly schooled musicians who served a long apprenticeship before emerging into public view at about the age of 40; and the young jet-age, learn-as-you-go conductors who have more commitments than time.

Today's stars are not only welcome at the big-name championships, they are free to jet from high-paying tournaments to still higher paying exhibitions to the stratospheric payoffs of staged-for-TV challenge matches. Once Jack Kramer, Lew Hoad, Pancho Gonzales and Ken Rosewall dreamed of an organized tour circuit that would provide steady income to pro regulars. The current Big Three-Borg, Connors...
...from a mass equal to that of billions of suns. Observations with the big telescopes at California's Palomar and Arizona's Kitt Peak National observatories strongly support the likelihood that at least one such heavyweight exists in M87, a galaxy that appears to be spewing out a great jet of matter. Astronomers found that M87's center is ten times as bright as the rest of the galaxy, and is surrounded by stars orbiting at unexpectedly high velocities. To provide the gravitational power plant for this galactic vortex, Cambridge's Martin Rees posits a black hole 5 billion times...
Although it could be many months before the SEC's charges come to trial, Wilmot's days as a highflyer in international aviation seem over. Last month Grumman sold its Gulfstream-manufacturing subsidiary to American Jet Industries, of Van Nuys, Calif. Its president, Allen Paulson, says flatly that Page will not be asked to help sell any more Gulfstreams...
