...guys I only glimpsed as they yelled "jump in" were headed up toward Idaho to build a house--or so I heard from my travelling companions in the back--and it looked like a clear shot to Reno. The upper portion of the tail-gate was propped up and I thought maybe I'd get a view of California as it sped by backwards, but the State Troopers didn't agree. We were on the road for only ten minutes when they pulled up about two feet in back of the truck, cruising at a swift 60, and then they...
...Crimson, by editorials and liberal coverage of environmental impact statements, rightfully opposed the construction of the Kennedy Library complex on the MBTA lot. However, the May 20 editorial, meanly entitled "Blowing it," castigates President Box for his failure to obtain for Harvard the archives portion of the complex. Whether or not Bok "blew it," implicit in the editorial is the chauvinism for which. The Crimson so often criticizes Harvard's older generation.

Cars still account for a sizable portion of the recalls: from 1966 through the end of February 1975, 45.7 million foreign and domestic autos were called back for inspection or actual repair. But in 1974 alone, 25 million product units other than cars were recalled, according to E. Patrick McGuire, marketing management research director of the Conference Board...
