They were checking, the Australians said darkly, to make sure that the installation of Courageous' big sheet winches did not violate America's Cup rules. Newport salts particularly enjoyed this gamesmanship ploy on the challenger's part because this year for the first time a delegation from the International Yacht Racing Union was checking to see that the complex 12-meter yachting rules were upheld. On the eve of the first race, Courageous was declared legal, and Brian Leary, Southern Cross syndicate manager, put the squall behind him.

...closing of the Freshman Union on the weekends has saved approximately $120,000 to $150,000 a year, Weissbecker says. But this money-saving ploy has had an overcrowding effect on the River Houses--particularly Adams and Quincy.

The battles on the mountain began as a Syrian "fight and talk" ploy to keep pressure on the negotiations by showing the Israelis that disengagement would be cheaper than continued occupation. But the Mount Hermon fighting is building in intensity and could get out of control. Israel last week lost five men; the week before, 14 were killed in one day. Kissinger this time also has to consider the Soviet Union, which played no significant part in the Israeli...
