Coach: It's been a tough year for Joe Restic, the gray-hair mastermind of the Multiflex. The Crimson's chief was looking for victory number 100 this season. He will get it only if Harvard goes undefeated the rest of the way. Restic is 97-65-5 overall and 3-2 against the Terriers. Will he be able to direct his backup QB to glory...
...they never went away. We've just had a hiatus for 15 years." This ultimate nightclub reopened last year after a $20 million renovation, and now receives 1,000 calls a day for reservations. "It's what you wanted to have money to spend on," says Joe Baum, mastermind of the dazzling art-deco aerie. Says psychologist Penny Binn, who dances at the Rainbow Room every week with her husband of 27 years: "I don't know of a place where there are so many unattainable things in one spot...
...complaint casts the Beverly Hills-based Milken as the mastermind of a secret, bicoastal arrangement with Ivan Boesky, the Manhattan financier now serving a three-year prison term for insider trading.

Moore was paroled from Minnesota's Sandstone federal prison in 1986 after serving four years of an eleven-year term for fraud. In 1982 he created a Chicago "bank," actually a telephone answering service, and issued himself letters of personal credit. So convincing were these documents that ten air- charter companies leased planes to Moore, who used them to take off on cross- country shopping sprees. By the time he was caught, he owed...
...Sasso's resignation. Another 35-year- old Harvard Law School professor, Christopher Edley, has done an outstanding job as the campaign's issues director. The top-ranking black on the Governor's team, Edley could wind up as chief domestic-policy adviser. Standing in the wings is Sasso, the mastermind of the campaign, who left after distributing the Joseph Biden "attack video" last fall. From his office at a Boston advertising agency, Sasso has kept in touch with the candidate. Should Dukakis go all the way to the White House, Sasso is likely to follow, perhaps as chief of staff...
