With Doyle's curve--missing in action for most of the spring--keeping Cornell off balance, and shortstop Bauer ranging far into left field for a game-saving grab with two out in the sixth. Harvard ended a disappointing reign as EIBL champs with a one-game winning streak...

This year featured the best Harvard team yet, one which easily won the GBCs and the Mass state titles and losing by one point to Yale at the New Englands.

But contrary to the hopes of Kazem and thousands of other Iranian students, political oppression did not end with the overthrow of the Shah's regime, and under the country's new 84-year-old leader. Ayatollah Khomeini, government by decapitation flourished...
