Suddenly Harvard's shooting, defense, and ball handling all went to pot simultaneously, and M.I.T. regained the lead, 80-76. Baskets by Sedlacek and Barry Williams tied the score again, setting the stage for the now routine last-second heartbreak...
...farming is the one sector of the economy Ne Win has left in private hands. Some 23 million Burmese live among lush paddies in a land larger than France, and there is plenty of rice for all. There is plenty of almost nothing else. Such essentials for the rice pot as onions, chili peppers, salt and cooking oil are now tightly rationed, available only in the state-run "people's stores"-or on the booming black market.

But she is not to be missed--none of the magic of New York, mind you, or even the plasticity of Los Angeles, but still something quite remarkable in her own way. How long can it last, you ask yourself? How long before...
