...Crimson had built up a slim 5-4 lead after the first round of weapons, led by double victories in foil and epee. Captain Phillippe Bennett and John Major each foiled their Bulldog blade brandishers, and Matt Simmons and John Hirschfeld easily took their epee bouts. Nick Tepe was the only saberman on target however, and that proved costly as the match wore...
...Cliffe guarded a slim lead in the early going but a tough press coupled with some red-hot shooting, (Hildy Meyers 8-for-12 from the floor in the first half) led the cagers to an 18-2 spurt at the close of the half and sent the host club into the locker room with a comfortable 42-21 lead...
...race in both parties is wide open. President Ford, despite the advantages of incumbency, is generally considered the underdog by a slim margin to Reagan, who has never had to act on issues transcending the borders of California.

Now, at long last, she took her place on the witness stand and sat demurely, just as she had been taught years...

Connally, a Democrat until he switched parties in 1973, recognizes that his chances of becoming President are less than slim, and he speaks enthusiastically about his other activities. He gives speeches around the nation on vital issues. He has a big ranch at Floresville, 180 miles east of Houston, where he raises Santa Gertrudis cattle. As the top man in Houston's largest law firm, he makes international business deals for major U.S. corporations. In Britain last month he met with Cabinet Officers James Callaghan and Anthony Wedgwood Benn...
