...after the first period that the turnovers had an obvious difference, as drives of 45 and 27 yards were enough to create two Dartmouth touchdowns. Harvard scored once in the wake of a Big Green turnover, after reserve defensive back Bill Hyland intercepted to set up the game's final TD, with five minutes remaining...
Interior Secretary James Watt last week tried a new tack in his campaign to survive in office. His method: lying low in the wake of criticism loosed a fortnight ago when he described a newly appointed advisory commission by saying, "I have a black, I have a woman, two Jews and a cripple."

It is the first council that did not face, or leave in its wake, heresy or schism. Councils have always been the church's last-resort response to crisis-from the First Council of Nicaea, summoned by Emperor Constantine in 325 to combat the Arian heresy, to the abortive Vatican I (1869-70), which faced the bewildering effects of the ever-widening industrial revolution...
