...okay for adolescent fools like the punks in Harvard Square to waste their time in the fantasy world of mockrebellion. But rock 'n' roll has spread its marketing tentacles into the realm of the adult, and its insidious, insipid rhythms have reached into ads for expensive cars, frozen foods, and even dishwasher detergent. It is not rebellion against the establishment; it is the establishment. Youthful fantasy has become reality...
With the help of a strong press, the Crimson brought the Quakers out of their set offense. Harvard spread around the scoring and took a 44-39 lead into the locker room at the half...
...Shultz prepared to begin his peace mission, widespread unrest continued to roil the occupied territories and even spread to a new region: the Druze villages of the Golan Heights, seized by Israel from Syria in 1967 and formally annexed in 1981. Some 8,000 stone-throwing protesters clashed with Israeli police in three villages.

On Mount Allan, where Zurbriggen and Swiss Teammate Peter Muller drew most of the early glare, a softer scene involved the sport's former custodians, the Austrians. Leonhard Stock, 29, the fifth-stringer who replaced fabled Franz Klammer in 1980, then made it worse by winning the downhill gold, finished an unexpected fourth last week and was finally embraced. Two days later, when Zurbriggen found...
