...start with Burke St. John. The Chappaqua, N.Y., senior, heralded as a heady, no-armed scrambler, silenced his critics at least for the moment. Besides directing the Multiflex masterfully, he completed 10 of 17 passes for 153 yards and one touchdown. It's not a 300-yd. Larry Brown special, but it was a nice mixture of running and passing...
Perhaps Duke Millard's punting was the biggest surprise. Except for a 19-yd. slice that diminished an otherwise strong average, the senior combined decent hang time with good distance (including a 64-yd.-thank-you-for-the-roll-Al-MacMurray-special) to keep Harvard out of trouble most...
...said so yet, but he is about the only one who has not. And his supporters are fairly screaming it. As far as they are concerned, Senator Edward M.

That prospect is upsetting to the Carter Administration, and not just because of this country's abiding, almost sentimental "special relationship" with its former colony.* Washington is concerned about preserving the Philippines as its main military springboard in the Far East. In return for $500 million in military assistance over the next five years, the U.S. by treaty has "unhampered use" of the huge (97 sq. mi.) naval facility at Subic Bay and Clark Air Force Base on Luzon. Those installations face Indochina across the South China Sea. They played an important role in the Viet...
