Free of the Chop. For power, Scotti had two 115-h.p. engines stacked on his stern; for a hull, he had one of the new "tunnel" designs developed by his countryman Angello Molinari. The hull consists of an airfoil-like center flanked by two pontoons. Their effect is to lift the boat out of the water and allow it to ride free of the chop on a cushion of air. In the straightaways, Scotti's black-and-yellow striped boat blasted over the waves at more than 100 m.p.h. By the 3 p.m. gun, he had averaged an incredible...
...State College in Fitchburg, Mass., the school's president canceled an entire issue of the student paper Cycle to prevent the publication of an obscenity-filled article by Black Panther Leader Eldridge Cleaver. The Harvard Crimson, though relatively restrained in its news reporting, has a majority faction of New Leftists who often ram through radical editorials and feature stories. In one recent story, Crimson staffer Richard E. Hyland defended terrorism and wrote: "The only reason I wouldn't blow up the Center for International Affairs is that I might get caught...

...moderate rival called the Harvard Independent, a 16-page weekly that published 10,000 copies of its first issue in October. Headed by Morris Abram Jr., son of the president of Brandeis University, the Independent aims to print opposing views of campus issues. The University of Wisconsin's new opposition weekly, the Badger Herald, promised at first to keep its news columns free of advocacy, but swung quickly to the right to reflect the views of its founders, the Young Americans for Freedom. After 93 years of campus monopoly, the Daily Princetonian is being challenged by an offset giveaway...
Most of the new papers lack manpower and money. Relatively few moderate and conservative students seem willing to invest the time necessary to publish a college newspaper; and most college towns provide scarcely enough advertising to support one student paper, let alone two. Moreover, some of the conservative publications are as invective-filled as any radical paper. For example, Ergo, one of M.I.T.'s new publications, recently called the school's antiwar-research demonstrators "neo-Nazis" and "syndicalist swine." Still, the new opposition press is getting results. Says Crimson President James Fallows: "It's unhealthy...
