Harvard will begin construction this August of a two-building complex on the recently-acquired St. Paul's Church parking lot with a completion date set for spring, 1991, a University administrator said yesterday...
...spring arrived on the Texas prairie last week, farmers and ranchers were fighting a range war that packed all the fury of a Panhandle twister. At the eye of the storm was Jim Hightower, the state's populist, barb-witted agriculture commissioner. Outside Texas, Hightower is best known for regaling the Democratic National Convention last year with his zingers about George Bush, who he said "was born on third base and thinks he hit a triple."

He marks time by the inning, even in references to his birth in 1941, usually adding, "the year of Joe DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak." During Rose's own hitting streak in 1978 -- the National League standard of 44 -- he was caught in a paternity suit, and his marriage was dissolving. Only between the white lines of the field was he serene. Last week, before...
