...lost its fans for the little league games. So maybe its a good thing for Harvard to plan on opening with two wins. It gives the team spirit, builds fan interest, but more importantly it's entertaining to watch a team win, and it's much more rewarding to travel through the Ivy League contests without the tint of competitive realism. And, therefore, for the Freshman Class, I salute you Holy Cross and Northeastern, martyrs to Ivy League Security...
...transitional figure who led the Soviet Union from an evil era of Stalinist tyranny toward a more moderate form of Communism. Near the end of his life, in the controversial reminiscences that restored him to the center of the international stage, he observed of his country's stifling travel restrictions: "Why should we build a good life and then keep our borders bolted with seven locks?" For nine years he was one of the two most powerful men on earth. Yet when he is buried in Moscow this week, following his death of a heart attack at 77, Nikita...
Wrestling Match. He was the first Soviet leader to travel widely throughout the world, and foreigners hardly knew what to make of him. His tantrum at a press conference after the collapse of the Paris summit seemed to reveal either a man whose emotions were temporarily out of control or perhaps an actor at the height of his powers.

"Have camera, will travel" is its motto and its boast. In the last 30-odd years, much of that time working for LIFE, Duncan has been nearly everywhere and done nearly everything-from catching monster squid in the ocean off Peru to recording the home life of Picasso. He has been shot at by Japanese ack-ack gunners, Korean snipers and Vietnamese rocketeers. All this is documented in a retrospective show now at the Nelson-Atkins...
...most passengers, the superjet era will provide a slightly smoother ride and perhaps longer baggage waits, at least until airline unloaders become accustomed to handling the suitcases of hundreds of people at once. The most visible contrast to standard jet-age travel, of course, will be space-the experience of sitting in a cruise-ship-sized cabin, with nearly 300 other passengers and 14 stewardesses. Until the airlines are able to snap out of their current economic doldrums and begin filling their new planes, much of that extra space will be used to pamper the passenger, with roomy lounge...
