...Last year's defeat was probably the most excruciating for the Crimson. Greeted with the most hostile New Hampshire weather imaginable, Harvard struggled to stay close with its third-string quarterback (the others were hurt), was burned on a 68-yard bomb for a TD (the longest pass in the 86-game history of the series) and finally lost, 14-12, when a two-point conversion attempt after a Crimson touchdown failed with three minutes left...
Since 1971, when the first Soyuz-Salyut hookup took place, about 30 flights have been launched. Over the years the space stations have set several impressive records, including the longest stint in orbit (211 days in 1982). Salyut 7, launched with great fanfare in April 1982, is the most sophisticated so far; weighing some 40 tons and outfitted with three docking ports, the beetle-shaped craft is designed to serve eventually as the core of a much larger complex. Two members of last week's hapless team, Vladimir Titov and Gunady Strakalov, were forced to return to earth after...

...Broadway is here tonight," said Producer Joseph Papp, and he was just about right. After eight years of high-stepping exuberance, Papp's A Chorus Line last week became the longest-running show in Broadway history, eclipsing the musical Grease. A spectacular 3,389th performance featured 332 past and present top-hatted cast members (out of a total 457) from all of the Broadway and other companies. Preparations took three months. Director-Choreographer Michael Bennett, 40, restaged the show for the anniversary, moving the various players in and out of their roles and gathering everyone for an untoppable...
...since Citation turned the trick in 1948 has a thoroughbred been so heavily favored to win racing's Triple Crown. The wonder horse called Secretariat had won impressive victories in the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness. Still, going into the $150,200 Belmont Stakes, the last and longest (1½ miles) of the three classics, the strapping chestnut colt was bucking the very formidable odds of history...
