...looking forward to a college education after my discharge from the Army. More than anyone, I believe, we truly value the chance for self-improvement that a college offers. It would be a shame if we returned to the U.S. only to find piles of rubble where universities once stood...
...expected their "unlimited patience" in bringing an end to the longest war in U.S. history. Almost every careful statement became a suit for good faith from two wary audiences: the Communist leadership in Viet Nam and the U.S. public. Between them-and under intense pressure from both-stood Richard Nixon. Last week he addressed those two groups in his first comprehensive statement on the war since taking office.

Both Venus 5 and Venus 6 had apparently stood up well under the rigors of their 217-million-mile trips. Each spacecraft successfully ejected an instrumented capsule that radioed back information while parachuting toward the Venusian surface. At week's end, however, both capsules appeared to have fallen victim to intense Venusian heat before making their landings on the planet's surface...

Even the most observant spectators can't catch Regan loafing. He stood out especially against Yale. Not only did he score three goals, but he was constantly hustling on defense. Regan took the ball from a Yale man to set up two of Harvard's goals. No one covered as much ground as he did on Saturday...
