...Brezhnev, who turned 74 on Dec. 19, almost seemed to draw strength from a very bad year. It began with the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan and ended with the threat of an invasion of Poland. In between came a plague of humiliations: outpourings of international protest over Afghanistan; a partial boycott of the Moscow Olympic Games; reports of brief but ominous incidents of labor unrest in Soviet factories; the second disastrous harvest in a row; new tensions with China; the collapse (at least temporarily) of arms control negotiations with the West; the election of a new American President whose rhetoric...

Besides Carrabino, co-captain Mark Harris also turned in a key performance underneath, crashing the hoop to come up with six rebounds. Harris scored 11 points--the fourth Crimson player to hit double figures...

If there is only a partial release, the freed hostages will be quickly questioned to determine the condition and location of the remaining captives.

Kennedy spoke to intimates of "my Addison's disease," but the public was told that he had "a partial adrenal insufficiency." Dwight Eisenhower was the exception. After he was felled by a heart attack, he and his physicians chose full medical disclosure, issuing daily bulletins that went so far as to describe presidential bowel movements. Lyndon Johnson was generous with details of his 1965 gall bladder operation...
