...late surge was inconsequential, with Hartwick icing the match on a goal in the opening minutes of the final stanza. Capitalizing again on a quick conter, Long--flanked by Brown and Pat Craikshank--came downfield opposed only by Crimson sweeper Frnak Ricapito.

...Blue Grass Opera a few years back, and it seems to apply to almost all of them. It's about people leaving home and heading north (How did Bobby Bare sing it? "Home folks think I'm big in Dee-troit City"), planning to get rich quick and go back and buy a filling station or a hardware store, always talking about going home for good even as the debts piled up and children came along and roots went down and finally they had to admit that Detroit was a friendly place and they had done fine...

Volkswagen has also been slow to react to changes in the U.S. car market. After keeping the Beetle in production for 30 years, it confidently expected to be able to sell Rabbits until 1990. But competitors were quick to copy the Rabbit's front-wheel design and efficient use of interior space. Today's car buyers can choose from a number of similar-looking makes, including the Mazda GLC, which sells for $5,295,'and Chrysler's $5,840 Plymouth Horizon and Dodge Omni. Those base prices are well below the $6,290 for the standard...
