...Their origin notwithstanding, the pair did not prompt McCurdy to romanticize about their talent. That quality was in ample abundance yesterday at Franklin Park, where the two Irish imports ran to a dead heat, a three-way tie for first place with teammate Danny Dillon. All three were clocked at 24:01, a stiff pace for this early in the season. Providence's top three sweep, together with the capture of places six, seven and ten, enabled it to overpower UMass, its closest competition, and throttle Harvard. The first Harvard runner to finish the race was Ed Sheehan (no relation...
...succeeds here because his image strikes deep chords. He is big and strong and white, like the much-admired and envied Europeans. He is generous and fair and helps the weak, like the government in the colonial era. He has magical powers and is solitary and of mysterious origin, so he may well be really a returned ancestor...

Nonetheless, Chambers admits that some farmers simply refuse to consider buying "Commie tractors." Others find that practical considerations outweigh ideology. At prices typically ranging from $4,600 to $12,000, Belarus' line of five models undersells its American rivals by anywhere from 15% to 20% or more. The Soviet tractors, made in plants in Minsk, Kharkov, Lipetsk...
