...victory in today's game--which begins at 2:00 p.m. in the IAB--would match the seven game victory skein of the 1970-71 season. That string is among the longest in Harvard basketball history: even director of intramurals Floyd Wilson, who coached the hoopsters for more than a decade beginning in 1954, can't remember a long streak...
...celebration, from the moment the first plane carrying the former captives cleared Iranian airspace to the climactic touchdown on U.S. soil of Freedom One just before 3 p.m. on truly Super Sunday at Stewart Airport, 50 miles north of New York City. There in privacy that not even the longest lens of press and TV cameras could penetrate, the returnees from Iran at long last were tearfully reunited with their families to begin two days of quiet time alone at West Point before journeying to Washington Tuesday for the official welcome home at the White House...
With the national championship, Dooley and his Bulldogs step out of the shadow of Southeastern Conference Rival Alabama and its fabled coach, Bear Bryant.

...experimental theater in America is, financially, a leaky ship on a long trip; Breuer points out that his Mabou Mines company, formed in 1970, is probably the longest-lasting venture of its kind, but adds, "We're living on borrowed time." The equipment Breuer's sonic directing requires isn't cheap, either. But in the long run his ideas are eminently practical: they accept the loss in intimacy that follows from the financial need for large theaters, and seek to deploy technology intelligently to restore some kind of dramatic truth...
