...negotiations on granting autonomy to the 1.2 million Palestinians living in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. Concerned that the May 26 goal for the autonomy talks, as set by the 1979 Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty, was fast approaching, Carter last month had invited both Sadat and Israeli Premier Menachem Begin to confer with him separately in Washington...

Crimson squash captain Michael Desaulniers '80, one of North America's premier racquetment who turned pro three weeks ago, says he applied at the last minute, after a chat with former Crimson squash mentor John M. Barnaby '34 at a tournament just before the deadline. "I didn't have any contact with recruiters," Desaulniers says. But since he carved a name for himself in the annals of collegiate squash, his younger brother has been hotly sought after...
