...adventures follow, with Perceval rescuing maidens, downing oppressors and entering enchanted houses. Invariably, however, he misconstrues good advice. When he does see the Holy Grail, he does not recognize it or ask about it, having been told by a wise old man that a good knight keeps his mouth shut. For that error he is cursed.

Prior to the Crimson tally, the name of The Game had been defense. The Harvard backfield played remarkably well given the frigid field conditions. Defenders Stefi Baum, Sally Kingsberg, and Kathy Batter shut down the Yale offense, allowing only four shots in the game and none in the second half...

For lack of models, the company has been virtually shut out of the full-size car market, which now constitutes 29% of industry sales. And when the company introduced its new full-size 1979 Chrysler New Yorker and Dodge St. Regis models with a vigorous publicity blitz in early October, it had almost no cars to sell because of production...
