That lead didn't last long. After the kickoff Cornell ground out yardage from their own 32 to Harvard's 21 in 14 plays. The big gun on the drive was halfback Pete Larson, who had entered the game with a 7.9 ward rushing average. He accounted for 37 yards on the march, including a 26-yard run. But when Cornell had a first down on the 26, the Crimson's defense held. At 1:18 of the period Zogby kicked the field goal which tied the game...

When acting for G. & W., Bluhdorn often uses stock instead of cash to buy out companies, shuns ailing firms. "We have no time to be doctors," he says. The deal for New Jersey Zinc will involve $150 million in cash...
...suspects in serious crimes. Despite these responsibilities, only one magistrate is a lawyer, only nine are high school graduates, four never went beyond grade school, and one dropped out in sixth grade. Almost uniquely among modern U.S. cities, Philadelphia retains the magistrate's job as a payoff for ward politicians-and though the post pays only $12,500 a year, such are the hidden benefits that reformers have failed to effect any basic change in 274 years...
