...either the Bruins or the Big Green will grab a share of the title. Brown concludes its season with what should provea routine game with the Lions in New York. And, of course, that extravaganza known only as The Game always possesses an aura all its own; the victor will achieve a moral triumph...
...much of Khomeini's price, and with the war against Iraq going badly, the Majlis began moving to seal the deal. One obvious Iranian advantage: Carter's hope for a pre-election breakthrough.
