Senior George McManama, who was to center a first line of Owen and senior Ron Mark, had sprained an ankle in practice earlier in the week, and Harvard went with sophomore Tom Paul, a hustling forward whose potential was unproven after an injury sidelined him for most of last season. But Paul was quick to prove...
...neolithic era. Higher still are the remains of a fortified Persian city built in approximately 400 B.C. Lemberg-Karlovsky suspects that it is the ancient city of Carmania, which Alexander the Great conquered without shedding a drop of blood in 325 B.C. Although his theory is as yet unproven, the Harvard anthropologist points out that the teeth of elephants, animals uncommon to the area but regularly used for military transportation by Alexander, have been unearthed in the top of the mound. And in a nearby village, young boys are often called "Iskanda," a name almost never heard elsewhere in Iran...
...logistical arguments against the courses are as yet unproven, and the theoretical ones seem adequately answered by Chalmers. It is difficult to believe that a Faculty which this fall approved two "radical critiques" courses virtually controlled by students, will jealously withhold the privilege of giving Gen Ed courses from instructors and teaching fellows. It is difficult to believe that traditionalists will predominate and quash an experiment that has so far been so popular with students. Difficult to believe, but a little bit frightening all the same...
...utter failure to develop rapport with any significant section of the faculty or student body. He did not recognize the yearning for change within his own institution. Controversy became inevitable as he allowed relations with the surrounding Harlem community to deteriorate and brashly involved the university in backing an unproven cigarette filter.

...luck o' the Irish must have rubbed off on Raymond Guest, 60, retiring this month after three years as U.S. Ambassador to Ireland. Last September, Guest bet $2,400 at odds of 100 to 1 with London Bookie William Hill that his then unproven two-year-old colt, Sir Ivor, would win or place in this year's English Derby. Sir Ivor then won three consecutive starts, and last week-by now an odds-on favorite -he ran away from a field of twelve other horses to win the English Derby by 1 ½ lengths...
