...Terry Flamen paired up in blocking shots and clearing the puck at several key moments. Flamen, playing only his second game of the season after sitting out the first semester was at top speed despite a shoulder injury. Sophomore goalie Bruce Durno made 22 saves, some on the spectacular side, in keeping high scoring B.U. to three goals...
...arrived at Esalen the night before. He had come because two of its staff members, Stewart and Sara, were friends of his friend Paul. Stewart and Sara had picked them up at the Monterey airport late Sunday afternoon and driven them the 45 miles south, along spectacular Route One, to Esalen. Route One stretches for hundreds of miles along the California coast, and it must be one of the most beautiful roads in the world--it's the road Dustin Hoffman drove on in his little red Alfa on his way to Berkeley. It winds along the coast, on cliffs...
...three of Irvings' bouts were spectacular come from behind wins. All three were 5-4 wins. In his last bout, which he had to win to keep Harvard's hopes alive, he dropped behind 4-2 only to come roaring back to tie the score at 4-4.

A far greater percentage of Negroes are finishing high school and going to college. Today, a Negro college graduate often has a better...
...should do far more to help and retrain those laborers - in the South - thus saving more money and needless misery in the North. Critics have suggested that the space program could well be cut back by at least $ 1 billion - mainly by stressing instrumented space probes rather than the spectacular manned flights with less scientific payoff. But in the afterglow of Apollo, which so lifted national spirits, such a decision might be unpopular. It also entails some risk; if the Soviet Union were to orbit a large space platform, the President would be charged with having endangered the nation...
