It is a good piece: reporter Nancy Skelton thoroughly details Brown's backtracking in preparation for a run against Carter in 1980--the "era of limits" is now the "era of possibilities," E.F. Schumacher notwithstanding. It is one of the best of the pieces that have been written on the ex-Jesuit...
...three consecutive weekends, Felske's team has proven themselves the best team in Boston, the Mass state champs, and one of the major powers in New England.
