However, the coach's minor slip of the tongue was more than appropriate, for the tie game--normally an indicator of nothing lost and nothing gained--sets back Harvard only slightly less than a loss in the icemen's quest for an ever-slipping-away playoff spot...
Reagan offered only minor tax adjustments, amounting to $12.7 billion in fiscal 1983, to slightly alleviate the budget shortfall. Included in the package: reducing certain deductions, such as those for energy conservation, taxing income on uncompleted business contracts, withholding tax on interest earned by savings accounts, and strengthening the rules governing the minimum tax corporations must pay. In addition, the President will push for approximately $31 billion of further spending cuts, drawn up last December, in Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps and other programs that have already felt the blade of his budget...

But the new restrictions will also force many middle-class students to use more expensive alternative loan programs, while at the same time not providing additional benefits for the poor. As a result, the Administration's 1982 plan will have a detrimental net effect: the type of school a person attends, or whether he enrolls at all, will depend more than before on how much money...
