...tooth-for-tooth warfare snapped a six-week cease-fire along the border that had been arranged by the U.S. The confrontation threatened to snag the slow and painful process by which President Carter hopes to get Israelis and Arabs together at a Geneva peace conference, presumably this year. At his press conference last week, Carter deplored the heavy loss of life, but he declined to single out Israel for striking what had obviously turned out to be civilian targets. "The overriding consideration," the President said, "is not to condemn Israel at this point for retaliation, but just...
...question for all you casual Harvard sports fans out there: which House, in the past week, booted its way to a 1-0 victory in the championship game to snag the House soccer title, pranced to the intramural touch football crown with a 12-7 aerial bombing of Mather, romped to Harvard's only triumph over Yale in House vs. College tackle football action and had four of its residents elected captains of next season's fall sports squads...

So they started inventing crazy things to do. For several weeks...
...less than 24 hours a few hoop seasons ago prevented hockey from competing with the Good Humor man. What was really too bad was that the Bruins, who proved themselves against the Flyers just days before, had to play Bobick to Montreal's Norton. If the Beantowers can snag Mark Howe (they have to ask his mother's permission first) then this year's final might prove a preview of a coming attraction...
