...ones who make decisions in Government and those that have been blessed with influence-I think they very seldom suffer when the Government makes a mistake. I want to make sure that we get away from that, and I believe that the powerful are eager to see that done as well. It is not a deliberate thing: that the big-shot crooks go free-they never go to jail-and that the average American who violates a law has a much greater chance of going to jail. That's not right.

Shots on goal: It was the last regular season game for seniors Dupuis and Linsley. Last season, Linsley was the varsity field hockey team member named to the first team. Netminder Ellen Seidler turned in a flawless performance, but was seldom tested, as a swarming 'Cliffe defense blanketed the Yale attack. Mleczko, who earned a record seven varsity letters while attending Andover, spearheaded Radcliffe's attack throughout the season, although only a freshman.

Complains a Peres aide: "Right from the start, Rabin was out to humiliate Peres in any way he could...
...American rock group works harder or equals the decibel level of Lynyrd Skynyrd, a band of seven Southerners who seldom see their homes outside Jacksonville. An energetic blend of English heavy metal and funky, rural blues, Skynyrd's music occasionally dominates its lyrics, but their teeny-tot fans like it that way. The group, named after the members' high school gym teacher (perversely spelled but phonetically pronounced), has sold more than 3 million albums. Its fifth LP, One More from the Road, has recorded sales of 350,000 copies since its release four weeks...
