...next drive, Harvard posted its only points of the day, but not before the Crimson offset a helpful UMass face-masking penalty with a clipping violation of its own. Nonetheless, the Crimson rumbled to the Minutemen's 18-yd. line sparked by a 52-yd. Buchanan-to-Horner fly pattern. Then Connors took on option play and lofted a pass into the endzone, where Horner ripped the ball from a UMass defender's fingers for the score...
Henry Kissinger and some Senators have urged linking ratification of the treaty with a significant boost in the U.S. military budget to offset increased Soviet arms spending of the past five years. That is a creditable argument, since SALT must enhance U.S. defenses as well as help control arms. But there are no grounds for linking SALT to the Soviet brigade in Cuba.

While no one questions her athletic ability, most coaches and owners around the league doubt that she will be able to offset her disadvantage in size and strength.

He pointed out that while the Kremlin long has led in conventional forces, this dominance used to be offset, in great part, by American preponderance in strategic and battlefield nuclear weapons. But the Soviets have been surpassing the U.S. in some key strategic categories. In ICBMs, for example, the Soviet arsenal jumped from 860 in 1968 to 1,398 today, while the number of U.S. ICBMs has stayed at 1,054. Kissinger repeated what a number of witnesses...
...same time, Bergland warned that under the 1977 farm law the federal support price will drop by 330, to $3.07 per bu., next year. That decrease will be more than offset by market forces. Because of the Soviet purchases, U.S. farmers stand to sell more grain than ever at prices somewhat higher than the present $4.22 per bu. for wheat and $2.77 for corn...
