...attempts to protect the Administration's Southern flank. The White House would like to prevent George Wallace from recap turing the Governor's mansion, so Agnew had kind words for the incumbent, Democrat Albert Brewer. In his speech the Vice President continued and broadened the previous week's attack on television news presentations to include print journalism (see THE PRESS). Agnew did not ignore his more familiar adversary, radical youth. In other statements, Agnew has blamed journalism for ballooning the militants' dimensions.

It is time the University stopped hiring blacks for less, under false pretenses, so that it can save money. Harvard employed 60 journeymen...
...change from its previous encounter with the Bruins, the Harvard squad dominated play throughout most of the game. "I thought that we would play better ball on a dry field, and we did. We played very well." Coach Bruce Munro said, remembering the narrow 2-1 victory over Brown in the mud a week...
