...several coed games of frisbee and touch football dotted the quad. All over the campus there was something giddy in the air--like a giant joke that everyone was in on. Lots of smiling went on. People smiled at each other on the street and said hello for no reason. One ecstatic sophomore stopped me in front of Sterling Library and told me that seeing a girl at Yale on a Monday was almost more than he could bear.

By Nov. 10, Ford had sold 562,000 trucks, against Chevrolet's 548,000; it expects to reach an alltime record of 650,000 by Jan. 1. Yet Chevrolet should not feel too bad: its truck sales are expected to increase by 11% over last year...
