...Carter seemed to relax fully and enjoy two softball games between a team of White House staff members and unarmed Secret Service agents and a squad collected by Billy from townspeople and the traveling press. Pitching all the way, Jimmy led his team to victory in the first game, 6 to 5, even though he himself went hitless. His team lost the second game, 12 to 8, despite his solid single. After the game, the tireless President jogged home in the 90° heat...

...sense they are right. For years The Crimson has been outspoken on issue its staff has perceived as important, and its opinions have, it is true, rearly concurred with those of the sultans of University and Massachusetts Halls. At times these opinions have found their way into news coverage, just as they must unavoidably find their way into any newpaper's front page. The art of newspapering is just that--an art, nor a science--and cannot be exercised with the precision of a dean--human precision, varying according to individuals.
