In a TIME/Yankelovich survey in August, former California Governor Ronald Reagan led President Carter by four percentage points.

The squad finished--one must keep in mind while contemplating bus rides to Providence for the ECAC Championships--with a depressing 7-18-1 record (1-8-1 in the Ivies...
...Afraid of Virginia Woolf? is a shining exception to this rule. Director Alan W. Mianulli has taken full advantage of the talents of his cast and crew to create a living production that completely avoids stereotype. Mianulli has refused to allow his production to wallow in the swamp of bitter recrimination and contempt. And although feelings of bitterness just out unobscured. Mianulli has injected a measure of compassion to smooth the jagged edges...
