Actually, things have not been quite as bleak as the record would suggest. The freshmen's first contest, against Columbia, was a 7-3 win which featured a hardy Crimson defense, though the offense seemed one-sided. It centered on halfback Richie Szaro, the swift and shifty fellow who has scored four of the Yardling's five touchdowns so far this season...

Once the decision to design the Cortina was made, Ford began a crash program with an eight-man design and management team under Beckett's direction. With an accelerated production schedule-only 20 months from programming to production v. the usual 30 months-Ford could not tolerate errors. To avoid them, Beckett filled a 400-page "Red Book" with each of the car's 10,000 parts listed according to projected weight...
