...House budget measure must be reconciled with the Senate version, which has much the same totals: $532.6 billion in spending with a $29.0 billion deficit. Thus, Congress may miss the May 15 deadline for getting its budget resolution on the President's desk, which is not an irretrievable loss, because the resolution is only advisory and the final budget will not be voted on until this fall. A larger question, however, is whether the spending approved by Congress will ultimately satisfy the inflation-plagued public and lead to the balanced budget that Carter promised...
...parliamentary seat he had held for 20 years. His North Devon constituency, however, turned him out with a humiliating 8,500-vote majority for a relatively unknown Tory candidate. Nationally, the Liberals slid from 14 to eleven seats. Analysts doubted that the Liberals' 1-million-vote loss was a direct result of the scandal.

The Elis took an obnoxiously comfortable win while hard-charging Princeton closed with a flourish that left Harvard third...
...coach Peter Raymond watched his charges leave the boat in funereal silence, seven seat Pasha Lakhdhir remained on the dock, his feet resting in the boat and his head buried in his arm. The letdown, the sudden drain of adrenalin and the misery of a second loss to despised Yale kept him rooted there for a good three minutes. Finally Raymond's hand descended to grab the hand of his disconcerted oarsman, and the pair walked away from the shell for moment, in the somber aftermath of defeat...
