regulation play, the Crimson reappeared on the field fully ready to control play in the overtime periods. Completely adjusted to each others' styles of play, the squad once again looked like a unit as they outshot the UConn team 15-1 in those final twenty minutes...
...official indicated that the Soviets have ruled out withdrawing the unit, which they say has been in Cuba since the early 1960s. But he insisted that Carter is determined to avoid a "cosmetic solution." The feeling within the Administration, said the official, was that the "Soviets are not going to do what is satisfactory to resolve the situation."

When informed of this conclusion, Church made it public, and coupled that with a warning that the Senate would not ratify SALT II until the Soviet brigade was removed. Many of Church's colleagues joined in the hue and cry, but last week some of them seemed to realize...
