...wonder what Eric Crone will be doing this weekend when Harvard faces Yale in New Haven. After all, in the four years he quarterbacked for Harvard, his name became strongly identified with Harvard-Yale football. He had a roller coaster experience with Yale games. He led Harvard to three wins in four years (including freshman season). Yet what he is remembered for is that inglorious safety, the nickname-making two points that christened Crone "Endzone" for the remainder of his career...

Prices of farm goods, the worst culprits in this year's inflationary saga, led the decline, dropping 5.2%.

Last week, starting a 32-city tour, she drew a sellout crowd of 10,000 in Columbia, Md., most of whom, by the end of the show, were standing on everything from plastic Spring-O-Lators to rhinestone-studded roller skates to pay her tribute. A few days later, at the Mississippi River Festival in Edwardsville, Ill., another sell out audience of 4,500 stamped and roared for nearly three hours for Miss M and her group, the Harlettes...
