...court zone defense that employed elements of man-to-man. He stayed with that unusual defense until 1:59 was left; Harvard had possession of the basketball and a 59-53 lead. Then Rohan whistled to his team to apply full-court pressure. Sanders called for a freeze (a tactic that Penn and Princeton used effectively last weekend against the Crimson), and despite a few last-second jitters Harvard withstood the pressure...
...this vein, Sanders has obviously preferred to concentrate on getting the right five to worrying about the next team on the schedule. Smooth the rough edges rather than radically alter the game plan. But such a tactic assumes a certain amount of arrogance, even if it seems perhaps a natural law to a former Celtic. For if you don't adjust, you have to make 'em play your brand of basketball. And if there is one thing Harvard has not been able to do for 40 minutes to date, it is make their opponents play their brand, Cambridge variety...
...businesswoman often courts success by acting like a man. As one has explained, when she was in her mid-20s and determined to get ahead at the office, she took her femininity and "stored it away for future consideration."

...policemen were out scouring factories and collective farms for signatures to letters expressing patriotic indignation about Gulag. Scores of such letters have already been published by Pravda and other papers calling for Solzhenitsyn's punishment. Many Western experts believe that the final step in this Stalin-era tactic will be an announcement of legal action against Solzhenitsyn, taken in deference to the "will" of the mass of the Soviet people...
Hungry Guppy. The bold tactic worked. Following the blunt dialogue between astronauts and Mission Control, relations improved enormously. So did the spacemen's performance. Helped by a steady program of exercising (bicycle and treadmill), the astronauts made a physical as well as emotional adjustment to their life in orbit. They also got more tune to relax; for amusement, Carr would open a jar of peanuts and "swim" after them as they drifted off, swallowing them up like a hungry guppy. "From what we've seen on Skylab," Astronaut-Physician Story F. Musgrave said last week...
