...story at Brown is coach Joe Mullany, once a Los Angeles Laker steward when Wilt Chamberlain played center. Mullany has put together a disciplined team in the model of Pete Caril's squads at Princeton, but with less talent. The Bruins are a defensive club, permitting their opponents just 65 points a game compared to Harvard...
...Iranian opposition forces reflected nationally held values and opinions that paved the way for a repetition of the United States's most familiar foreign policy fiasco. The Iran that the press and the U.S. government sought was one that would be westernized along the Shah's U.S. inspired model. At the root of Iranian protest were the twin grievances that Iran engendered--the oppression that the Shah required, and the challenge to cultural and nationalist ideals that westernization entailed. The press ignored those social grievances of opponents to the Pahlevi regime who cited vicious police state tactics, the dramatic concentration...
That absolute expanse might be difficult, even unbearable, to contemplate, like an infinite snow field of time, but the conception at least carried with it the serenity of the eternal.

The shrapnel created by that explosion is still flying outward from the focus...

Combined with OPEC's 1979 price increase of 14.5 per cent, Carter's hikes will push the price of gasoline...
...company will provide an exciting change from what is--with a few exceptions--a stagnant and unprovocative theater, and an all-out challenge to a curriculum with serious gaps. At most, it could be the beginning of a new era for the performing arts at Harvard, and a model for the teaching of drama at every school in this country. We risk little--a few productions a year in the Loeb--and stand to gain a whole lot. Let's drop our suspicions and embrace the possibilities...
