...have to find two defensive ends." Restic's words have a haunting ring to them. All-Ivy bookends Russ Savage and Bob Baggott have graduated after three standout seasons, and a mad rush for their two spots has ensued. Several sophomores emerged in preseason drills, and small (190 Ibs.) senior Dan Binning may have a shot at a starting berth. Look for the drop end concept to be erased from the Crimson defensive formation--it simply looks like no one of Baggott's caliber will come through...
...doubts, but I knew I was in deep trouble when my dorm assignment came in August. The name did not exactly ring a bell, and when my brother told me that he had never even heard of the place, I began to wonder. 8 Prescott St? I mean, it didn't even have a name. And when I finally arrived, after an interminable summer during which relatives and friends told me over and over how lucky I was and how much I'd love it, I knew why. 8 Prescott Street didn't deserve a name.

...unconditioned, the unexpected force exerted by rapid movements sometimes causes the tendon, which runs from the muscle in back of the leg down to the heel, to snap and roll up like a window shade.

On Tuesday, in the presence of those red hats who had arrived in the Eternal City, Villot raised a hammer and smashed the Fisherman's seal, inscribed with Paul's name, that had been removed from the papal ring. The purpose of this traditional ritual is to prevent forgeries during the interim. Also that day Villot sealed up Paul's private quarters, leaving his papers intact. (When Pope John's diaries were released after the 1963 conclave, they showed that privately, he hoped Montini would succeed him. Paul, however, directed that...
These views of our ancestors are diverting, and even, on occasion, informative. But even the speculations of more serious anthropologists and behavioral scientists, says Richard Leakey, are far from accurate. The author should know. His own guesses have the ring of authority, and his genealogy is impeccable. Indeed, if anyone doubts the power of heredity, let him examine the lineage-or the books-of the Leakey family. A generation ago, the great anthropologists Louis and Mary first explored the highlands of East Africa in search of man's origins. Today their son Richard spends much of his time...
