...year seem as good as they have been since 1976. Even if the Crimson doesn't come up with the title, the loss will not shake the coach's faith in his system. Joe Restic believes in the Multiflex with the intensity of a professor's committment to a pet theory. If others remain mystified by the relentless scamperings of 11 red jerseys on the turf of Harvard Stadium, Restic will try to explain once more--and maybe offer a little sympathy.

The Harvard Management Company points to its extremely impressive and respected track record and the sizable University endowment--well over $1.7 billion--that it proffers as evidence that Harvard is acting as wisely as it can. The "Every Tub On Its Own Botton" system, a pet phrase the Office of Budgets uses to connote Harvard's decentralized budget management, has functioned to insure informed budget planning and to discourage deficit spending.
