Harvard fell victim to a schedule change in the opening round of the tournament and lost to a strong Quebec club. 3-2, The Crimson had expected a relatively easy match with Rochester in the first round...
...defects as a revolutionary tactic. Thomas Buck, who sees the Berrigans once a month at Danbury, reports that they talked it over following the kidnaping of Pierre Laporte and James Cross by Quebec separatist terrorists. "They deplored the Canadian thing," says Buck. Only after Hoover's Nov. 27 charge, he insists, did he and the Berrigans consider kidnaping as a possible technique for the peace movement.

The Quebec Liberation Front seized two hostages, murdering one of them. In other areas, Russia resumed a dismaying assault on its restive intellectuals, with the Soviet press damning Nobel Prizewinner Alexander Solzhenitsyn who continued his lonely battle against tyranny. Chile's Salvador Allende became Latin America's first democratically elected Marxist president. China seemed to have recovered from the violence of the Cultural Revolution. For the first time a majority of the U.N. General Assembly voted to admit the Peking...
