Potysman started all but one contest this fall, and finished the season as one of the bright lights in the Crimson secondary. He will succeed defensive tackle Steve Kaseta as Harvard's captain, the 105th in Crimson history...
This is the Metropolitan Opera's second season under the joint leadership of Music Director James Levine, 34, and Director of Production John Dexter, 52. They are men of skill and self-assurance, and when they succeed, as they did last winter with Berg's Lulu, they justify the Met's often advertised suggestion that to buy one of its tickets is to "strike a blow for civilization." When Levine and Dexter miss, they raise worries about the wisdom of dual artistic control. Last week's new production of Verdi's Rigoletto was about...
...Although this problem became accentuated by the colonialists, it had its roots in pre-colonial societies in Africa. With a common tribe, or less tribal groups and tribal languages, the problem for unification could have been much easier.

Still, the 1977 Synod may play a role in papal politics. Of the 117 voting members of the College of Cardinals?which only meets to elect a new pope?51 were Synod delegates. Thus the Synod provided an opportunity for nearly half of the papal electors to observe one another in action for weeks. Given Paul's age, the 1977 meeting...
