...concept of women's education has drastically changed in the last decade. Radcliffe's impressive list of prominent alumnae notwithstanding, the college has not been perceived, over most of its history, as a route to power in the same sense that Harvard has. This is not surprising. Neither have Smith or Wellesley. Although some maverick women graduating from these institutions have become leaders, they have been far outnumbered by their classmates who became educated homemakers. With the general trend in the '70s shifting to more equal access to power, money and prestige for women, their access to education has widened...
...want to forget about what happened last year at this time. A successful Western vacation trip was marred by an expanding injury list, and soon the scores were B.C. 7-0, B.C. 11-3, Clarkson 4-2- and Northeastern...
...Chief George Meany in four blunt words: "They hate each other." Meany bitterly complains that the guidelines press down on wages more than on prices, and calls for mandatory controls on both.

Also, Congress and Carter eventually agreed to reduce the total tax cut from the $25 billion that the President had originally requested...
...rounds of his father's friends? No, Peter Edward Rose, 37, third baseman extraordinary, tour guide and head auctioneer of the most remarkable free-agent sale in baseball history. So well did Rose peddle himself that the former Cincinnati Reds star moved to the top of the list of baseball's new millionaires last week, signing a four-year contract with the Philadelphia Phillies for about $3.5 million. That would make him, at $875,000 a year (or $5,400 a game during the regular season), the highest paid baseball player in history, surpassing San Francisco Pitcher Vida...
