MANY OF US who are here never have liked Harvard-it has nearly broken us-and now that we have the chance, we want to leave it. Some of us would like to come back someday or feel we can't afford not to: we hope a little time off will strengthen us for later trials for academia. Others will refuse to have any more of it and will withdraw for good to try some other manner of living. The only hope is for something a little bit better.

Although plagued by injuries. Harvard's distance runners hope to retain enough manpower to score crucial points in their races. Captain Keith Colburn may have to double in the mile and 1000-yard runs, as he did in winning efforts against B.U., but could afford to relax somewhat if Roy Shaw is at full speed in the mile an event which he failed to finish against the Terriers...

He refuses to divulge how much he earns, lest corporations find out how many investigators, if any, he can afford to hire. He turns down occasional six-figure offers from law firms and regularly shuns pleas for product endorsements. Partly because he knows that his personal purchases might be interpreted as a stamp of approval, Nader owns no major appliances, no television set, no car. Yet he refuses to acknowledge...
