...pressure on the Williams goalie, shooting 25 times in his direction. The halfbacks gave the offensive line the needed support that was missing during the Tufts outing. "In this game we had three halfbacks doing the work of three, unlike the Tufts game when two were carrying the whole load," Munro said...
...comforts. To be sure, U.S. prices are now rising at a 6%-a-year rate - considerably faster than prices in almost all European countries. But items that are inexpensive in the U.S. are often costly in Europe. In West Germany, some self-service laundries charge $1 to wash a load of clothing. Cantaloupes often sell for $1.75 apiece; coffee costs $1.74 a pound. Bread costs 60? a loaf in Paris, and cigarettes are 75? a pack in London. A publisher in Amsterdam sold his U.S. car when he discovered that commuting to work cost...

Like many other Greeks, he has devised quite a few new methods and designs, including a combination liquid-dry cargo ship that can haul a load of oil on an outbound voyage and return with a cargo of coal. Partly because of his inventiveness, he has accumulated a fleet of 60 ships totaling 4,500,000 tons; another 2,000,000 tons are on order...
