...freestyle is another example of the Crimson's awesome power. Bobby Hackett could give everyone a two-lap head start and still win at Easterns. Tim Maximoff and Mike Coglin (second and eighth last year, respectively) return, and Countryman's time Sunday in an exhibition meet against a Canadian club team (16:00.71) would have earned him sixth place a year...
...ugly, shocking image of innocence and impotence, of tyranny and terror, of madness and mob rule. Blindfolded and bound, employees of the U.S. embassy in Tehran were paraded last week before vengeful crowds while their youthful captors gloated and jeered. On a gray Sunday morning, students invoking the name of Iran's Ayatullah Ruhollah Khomeini invaded the embassy, overwhelmed its Marine Corps guards and took some 60 Americans as hostages.

At the very hour at which the demonstration was taking place in Tehran, the Ayatullah Khomeini was telling a student in the holy city of Qum, some 80 miles to the south, that foreign "enemies" were plotting against the Iranian revolution. Repeatedly...
...keeps. Suddenly the air waves are flooded with heavy-ticket movies: Dog Day Afternoon, The Omen, Oh, God! Hit shows, from Dallas to Little House on the Prairie, offer expanded episodes; flops go into temporary or permanent hibernation. The competitive fallout can be severe. On the sweeps' first Sunday night, Nov. 4, NBC's MacArthur (Part 2) was beaten almost 4 to 1 by ABC'S Jaws. In TV terms, MacArthur did not just fade away-it died...
