Coming off a triumphant first victory over UNH, the tracksters trucked up to northern Maine looking for a sure win. The only trouble was, they started a little too late. Never traditionally strong in the sprints and field events, Harvard soon found itself trailing 21-1. With half the events over, Bates sat tight with a 30-point lead. The Crimson would literally have to sweep all the remaining events...
After the exchange of pleasantries, the Reagans made a triumphant exit, walking hand in hand down the driveway, surrounded by throngs of admirers. The Carters slipped quietly out the back entrance of the White House and flew off by helicopter to the comforting solitude of Camp David...

The familiar figure of Lech Walesa, 37, the triumphant leader of the original Lenin Shipyard strike, rose to make a telling disclosure. During a recent trip to Warsaw, he recounted, the authorities had in effect tried to buy him off by offering him the leadership of the party-controlled official trade union-a lure he had duly refused.
