Despite a strong 11-6 win over Dartmouth in the opening round of the New England Championships, the Crimson laxwomen spent a disappointing weekend in New Haven. A close 3-2 loss to number-one seeded Yale, in round two, ruined their title hopes and sent them into a tailspin that resulted in losses to the University of Rhode Island and the University of New Hampshire in the consolation rounds...
...Arnold Toynbee, thus placing Delta House roughly two intellectual cuts above CBS's pompous The Paper Chase. Let the viewer beware, however, for future episodes will be written by different hands.

The Iowa Poll, the most respected in the Midwest, indicates that Carter is in a "public opinion tailspin" that has been gaining momentum in recent months. Those giving him a favorable report plummeted from 80% a year ago to 45% this month, a drop that was exceeded only by Richard Nixon in his last year in office, during the Watergate scandal...
