...Harvard is undefeated in two games and an exhibition match, but the upcoming pre-January schedule will be an accurate measure of the Crimson's real quality to say the least. New Hampshire is incredibly tough at Durham. and Brown, whom Harvard could face twice before Christmas, is as solid a team as any in the East.

Sketchy federal surveys indicate that wages of variety-store clerks and cleaning women in Atlanta and Philadelphia have risen faster than consumer prices in recent years. Andrew Brimmer, a member of the Federal Reserve Board, suspects that more complete figures-which no one collects-would disclose that the wages of many other poor workers have fallen...
