Cornell stole the Tigers' thunder by playing ball control, piling up 175 yards on 61 carries and limiting Princeton's potent backfield to just 109 yards. Cornell backs Ben Tenuta and Tom Weidenkopf each chalked up touchdowns, laying to rest preseason questions about the Big Red's offensive line and setting the squad up as a good underdog to abscond with the crown...
Last week, after Fox had raised nearly $2 million in pledges for cancer research, his run came to an abrupt end, more than halfway to his goal. Three miles outside Thunder Bay, Ont,, and 3,336 from his starting point, Fox began coughing and choking, with pain in his neck and chest. He bravely ran on, so as not to disappoint spectators who had waited for him, but soon checked into a local hospital for tests. The verdict: his cancer has spread.

...work of Gower Champion, 59, an encapsulation of much that he did best. As a director, he had a jet pilot's sense of speed and angle of ascent. Fond memories of his Bye Bye Birdie offer abundant evidence of that. His choreography could turn from the gliding thunder of tap to the vaulting grace of a waltz without missing a step.

Along about 1 a.m., in trooped Teddy, 22, Eleanor, 19, and William Mondale, 18, who proved they could dance up a storm of their...
...emotional range of journalistic fervor wider in the days when press lords such as Hearst and Colonel McCormick helped create candidates, lauded them to the skies and unmercifully derided their opponents. But the American electorate got quite skilled at rejecting their advice. Poor press lords! They could thunder, and they could misinform, but they could not persuade. As one of Lord Beaverbrook's editors once remarked, "No cause is really lost until we support it." The relative lack of advocacy in the political journalism of 1980 makes the coverage sound remarkably homogeneous. That may deny readers some guidance...
