...Number one honcho--subject to some debate--is one Robert Hackett, an All-American swimmer who as a freshman last year launched a one-man crusade against the Harvard record book. One more thing: before coming to Harvard, Bobby won a silver medal at the Montreal Olympics. He's not a bad bet to take a gold or two at Moscow, either...
...lessons in how to handle America's latest aquatic tool (or toy). Sitting on a special launching ramp at the back end of Aquatic, the machine in question suggests a curious cross between a wind-up bathtub toy and a James Bond movie. It is a lemon-hued, one-man submarine, the S 250, a 12-ft.-long, 2,250-lb. vessel that can be run by just about anybody, dive safely to 250 ft., stay submerged for an hour at a time and costs (at $12,000 without extras) less than a Cadillac Seville.

That might have decided things; Italy is the kind of team that can hang on to a one-goal advantage till the next ice age. But in the second half Holland moved its star, Johan Neeskens, up from his defensive positions and threw everything into the attack. The deadly Brandts, a one-man soccer game, struck again, this time in the right direction. The score was 1-1 and the Dutch added another...
