Despite the Crimson's 16-9 record, the 1969-70 season must be classified as disappointing. Harvard had nearly everything returning-two strong forward line? ?? unbroken defensive unit, an All-Ivy goaltender. Cornell, which had lost five of its starting six, was not going to be nearly as impregnable as the year before, and both B. C. and B. U. were rebuilding.

...terms, not for life. All bishops and ministers in the new church's member denominations will be accepted without reconsecration or reordination-a provision that is likely to disturb High Church Episcopalians, who may not feel that a projected unification rite is enough to assure "apostolic succession," an unbroken link with the Apostles...

For The Triumph of Death, lonesco reaches not only to Albert Camus, but also back to the Bruegel painting that bears the same title...
Watching Cavett's show is not always easy. It takes a certain amount of concentration to watch anyone speak for twenty minutes-especially on television, which is not geared for unbroken action or conversation (as Carson must well know). Most people who twirl the midnight dial are probably looking for an easier-to-watch show like Carson's before dozing...
