Keegan and Corrigan won a special "let's get serious--it's freezing" tiebreaker played after they split sets 6-1, 5-7. Harvard's Lisa Schneider and Rony Sebok tumbled at number one, 2-6, 2-6 to Lynch and Santanielo. BC's Quigley and O'Brien skated past Deirdre Wilde and Sarah Nicholas...
...TOLD YOU SO, say the Brown fans. Back in '76 we told you not to trust Jimmy because he wavers on the issues, because he's an engineer and a technocrat under his populist rhetoric, because he can't lead a bee to honey, let alone a horse to water.

The House masters could therefore not afford to let students run their own happy hours, no matter how discriminate in serving the students promised to be. The potential for a lawsuit is a powerful goad, and the clearcut wording of the new laws allow little room for dodging...

As Andrew Tobias has pointed out, though, the U.S. pays $65 billion annually to foreign oil producers, and that by far should be the chief target of any anti-inflationary program. Let the "living standard" that has Americans riding mammoth cars and wasting electricity fall, not the standard that keeps food on their tables and money in their savings accounts...
