Nixon smiled at a reporter's question on his feelings about the loss of Vice President Gerald R. Ford's traditionally Republican seat in Michigan's fifth district, in a race that featured Nixon as its primary issue. The one-man attack, he stated, had been used before, had failed, and would fail again in this year's congressional elections.

The Crimson's attack degenerated into one-man sallies instead of the crisp passing and fast skating that is ordinarily the key to Harvard's attack...

Their attacks culminated last month in "Bloody Monday," when the Prime Minister's bullyboys broke up a protest rally and killed the father of one of Gairy's chief critics. Since then they have been looting shops owned...
