...Crimson's Bill Bihrle scored a big upset in the high jump with a leap of 6 feet 6 inches...
Women at Yale offers only occasional insight into the problems it probes. The problems, though important, are shopworn, and the book's analysis fails to reveal many new dimensions. From weekend mixers to bed and breakfast is not actually the one small step for Yale men and the giant leap for womankind that it was advertised...
...week of Leap Year day, the calendar has tips on feminist wedding ceremonies-omit the word "obey" from the traditional vows, write your own marriage ritual: "We promise to love, cherish, and groove on each other and all living things.

American Motors has in fact been making excise-tax refunds even before Congress acts; the company's sales jumped 50% in September, compared with the same month in 1970. Whether or not the sales...
