...number of students who received one of their top three choices of Houses has steadily increased over the past few years, he said. He added that this trend may indicate that freshmen have become more careful in choosing Houses...
Jerry had a line to deliver, which he did, in answer to each question posed him--the problem with America, he said, is that we are losing our "productive might" and the "technological advancement" which has characterized the economic growth of the past fifty years. Our inability to face this issue is reminiscent of the decline of other empires in history, he said. The solution is fiscal responsibility, which will induce investment and further technological progress. It will also make possible a continuation of social programs.

Similarly, the stories of the people who made these films have gone untended by film librarians. Until...

Meanwhile, the Yankees, true to then-big-spending ways, obtained two more front-line pitchers: the Dodgers' Tommy John and, unkindest cut of all, Boston's Luis Tiant. Ageless and irrepressible, Tiant was a favorite of Boston fans and a stopper for crucial games...
