Harvard actually won the opening toss but elected to open the game on defense. Crimson captain and safety Dave St. Pierre explained the unorthodox move. "We felt we were the number one defense in the country, so we wanted it on the field not on the bench," St. Pierre said after the game. "And it worked out. I really think we were sticking out there today, and when you're hitting like that, people are bound to make mistakes...
...goes the educational process-at least for some teen-agers&$151;in the tiny (pop. 1,400) Ohio town of Mount Grab. The unorthodox program is the town's proud answer to a universal problem: how to deal with dropouts. In Mount Orab, the problem has been severe: for every 200 youngsters who graduated from the town's high school each year, 50 would drop out, often to do little more than hang out on the corner under the town's only streetlight...

Unlike most corporate executives, he operates without specific goals in mind, preferring to concentrate on what he calls "constant aims," which amounts to doing "any job assigned to you better than the job has been done before." That is only one of his store of Dale Carnegie-ish homilies (another: "Don't forget to do today's chores or you won't be around tomorrow"). A bachelor until age 40, Hedrick is known for his love of golf and political conservatism. Strangely enough, neither...
