...will ignore Mr. Lemann's other "factual" statements since he is not basically concerned about facts. However, I am amazed at the slant of his column. Why does he make it seem that Mather 311 is the center of the IRC's "power structure"? Why is it objectionable that our "leaders" are "above all, smooth and in control"? Why are they blamed for dressing well, or for the names of the Sheraton-Boston's conference rooms? Why are they blamed for their home towns? Why does Mr. Lemann extol slickness and worldy wisdom?

Holt, again demonstrating the aggressive confidence he's developed over the course of the season, hit sophomore receiver Bill Curry with two lightning-quick slant-in passes in succession that moved the ball all the way down to the Princeton three. Milt tried a keeper that failed, and then was sacked for a seven-yard loss. With the clock running and Harvard having two time-outs, Holt, in a quick formation play, hit McInally with a nine-yarder for the touchdown, with just 14 seconds left in the half. The point after was wide again, but Harvard walked...
