Goalie Fred Herold attributed the weak season to a lack of hard work by the players and the development of a losing attitude after some early losses...
...Baker, 46, the unflappable Houston lawyer who smoothly ran Ford's election campaign, and Richard Cheney, 35, the diligent White House chief of staff. But Ford, who likes to be surrounded by friends, may be slow to strengthen his own White House staff, which on the whole is weak and loaded with old cronies...
...were to have journalistically evaluated my road trip down to last year's Dartmouth-Harvard game, I might have been able to expound on what a "weak-tit" atmosphere I found. But I would have been mistaken. Harvard weekend last year, despite the loss of the football and soccer teams and the torrential precipitation, was one of the landmarks of my freshman year.

Or, how about the John who challenged some "Animals...

He claimed he had vetoed a strip-mining-control bill because it would have meant a loss of some 140,000 jobs.

In succeeding years, a series of four acoustical repair jobs (total cost: $2.5 million) were made, culminating in the replacement of the entire ceiling in 1969. But to little avail. In 1973, Hi-Fi Magnate Avery Fisher donated $10 million to keep the place going. Accordingly, Lincoln Center...
