...that neat philosophy would be rendered mute without recruiting, and Bernal hasrecruitedwith enormous success. Having established the Harvard name in swimming, the task should be easier in years to come. The group that arrived in 1978, sophomores this year, featured Ron Raikula, who, with last year's experience in the nationals behind him, figures to make himself heard in the 400-yd. individual medley and the 200-yd. back stroke...
...good idea. "It seems the most direct way out, the way that will do the most good," George O'Brien, assistant city manager for fiscal affairs, said at one point, rejecting the head-of-a-pin arguments and moral sophistries that have characterized the University's attempts to mute controversy.

Goodall's watercolors are eloquent enough to carry the progress of a British town from medieval beginnings to its present state. In other hands, the use of half pages overlaid on full ones might be a gimmick. But Goodall's visual narrative is so controlled, and his costumes and customs so accurate, that history assumes a personality. Moving by lively steps, it arranges hemlines and coats, advances from midwives to doctors, from town criers to village schools...
