...Harvard stickmen wrapped up a splendid season Saturday, rolling past rival Dartmouth with surprising ease, 23-7. The triumph left Harvard with a 10-4 record at season's end, their best since 1971, when the squad won eight of 11, or perhaps since 1964, when the Crimson rolled to a 12-3 finish...
Whenever Jimmy Carter's name was mentioned, the crowd booed lustily, but California Governor Jerry Brown, a prospective Carter rival in 1980, was wildly cheered when he embraced Begin and said that he was "trying to send a message that peace will not come from making concessions before you even sit down at the bargaining table."

When it is on the other, a drop in frequency occurs. A similar Doppler shift...
