Everyone on the Harvard team knows the Crimson is prime upset material this Saturday at Penn. With only this game against a supposed pushover remaining before The Game, thinking ahead could prove fatal.... The toast of Dunster House is Crimson tight end Bill McGlone, who caught a 29-yd. Brian Buckley touchdown pass last weekend. You see, no one could remember the last time a Dunster resident had even appeared on the gridiron, so the junior was widely hailed at the post-game "Zorbels" ....

...must not let yourself be overwhelmed by the guest, who after all is trying to get across a point of view by what he or she is telling you." As Robert Strauss put it over his French toast, "I say what's on my mind, but I sometimes don't say everything that's on my mind. Sometimes I talk too much, but it's very rare that I say too much."
