...NOTEBOOK: Coach Barnaby had the rare privilege yesterday of whipping the team of his predecessor at Harvard, Paul Moses. Now coaching the Bruins, Moses headed the women's squash program here until three years ago...Last year's Choate-Rosemary Hall squash team staged a mini-reunion in Providence yesterday. Former teammates Staley, Meagher, and Mary Winnick all played in the Harvard-Brown match, with Winnick triumphing for the Crimson J.V.'s at number two. The trio filled out the numbers one, two, and three slots respectively, for Choate last year...
...Reagan proposal. Mindful of the Soviet Union's outright, not to say contemptuous, rejection of President Jimmy Carter's 1977 proposal for deep cuts in strategic arms, the Administration is determined to avoid what it considers to have been Carter's principal error. Unlike his predecessor, Reagan will not announce a fallback position in advance. Still, the President said in his speech that the U.S. delegation would "listen to and consider the proposals of our Soviet counterparts."

Under both President Reagan and his predecessor Jimmy Carter, the State Department argued that once the pipeline entered service in 1984, Western Europe would become vulnerable to threatened Soviet gas cutoffs.

While Rubik's Cube has a mere 43.2 quintillion (432 followed by 17 zeros) possible arrangements, the new British version has 88.6 sextillion (886 followed by 20 zeros) permutations...
...best animal actor in TV commercials. Adopted from a humane society, Morris became so famous that his "story" was told in Morris, an Intimate Biography. After he died in 1978, a 14-month search turned up a replacement in a Cape Cod animal shelter. This foundling, like his predecessor, lives on the six-acre kennel of Trainer Bob Martwick in Lombard, Ill. When Morris II flies-first class, of course-to Humane Society adopt-a-pet campaigns around the country, his popularity often leads enthusiasts to empty local shelters of felines. The cause is a good one. Although...
