Temperatures rocketed into the low 80s, and yesterday's heavy cloud cover dissipated, making it a perfect day for a season opener. Lured by sunny skies, lowered ticket prices, and the inherent appeal of the earliest-season Ivy matchup in recent memory, fans from all over the Boston area began arriving at Soldier's Field at midday...
Washington Correspondent Stanley Cloud, who has been on the road or in Plains, Ga., with Carter for nearly a year, finds the assignment unexpectedly rewarding. Says he: "Cynics complain that within the confines of a presidential campaign-with all its jet planes and buses and motorcades-one learns nothing at all about America. I disagree.

Murphy dropped an elephantine hint to the U.A.W. to be reasonable; he expressed hope that no further price boosts on the '77s will be required. One other cloud on the auto horizon, the threat of a tire shortage, seems to be dissolving. The United Rubber Workers and Firestone announced tentative agreement on a contract under which the first of 60,000 rubber workers could begin returning from a 126-day strike this week...
