Spectators may not be immediately impressed, because the results show up not in spectacular plays but in the final score. The defense is as conservative as the most vocal critics accused the offense of being two years ago. The idea of a "monster back" or "rover," which has caught on with many other League teams, is too much in the nature of a gamble for the Crimson. But while it is hard for the average fan to appreciate, Ivy coaches paid their respects to Harvard's defense by selecting Cantabs to four of the eleven All-Ivy defense spots last...

There is a shortage of both new and used cars; the Ford assembly plant in Salisbury has had to curtail production because of a shortage of parts, and the nearby Rover plant has started turning out Japanese Isuzu trucks to replace the British lorries it once assembled. Tobacco, once Rhodesia's principal source of foreign exchange, is now piling up in secret government warehouses-three of which are disguised as hangars on an unused Salisbury airfield. The government recently initiated...
