More than a year ago, conservative strategists gathered in some D.C. war room and began sticking pins in maps. They aimed at Church--their chief target, for he was floor manager for the Panama Canal "giveaway." They stuck a pin in Indiana, where they said Birch Bayh had voted consistently to cut national defense. Iowa's John Culver made it to the list, for his fellow Iowa liberal, Dick Clark, has proven vulnerable in 1978. And George McGovern, it almost went without saying, got a pin too, if for no better reason than the memory of his radlib...
...Buckley, the quarterback who led Harvard (4-2, 2-2 Ivy) to its best start since 1973, will return to the starting lineup today after three weeks out with a knee injury. Harvard's passing attack--dormant for the past three weeks--should return with Buckley although his favorite target, Ron Cuccia, remains questionable...
Once again the Third World community at Harvard University has become the target of criticism and this time in the context of Mr. Klitgaard's "study". Firstly, I seriously question how Klitgaard obtained his information. In no part of the Harvard/Radcliffe admissions application is a student asked his religious affiliation.

...brought unemployment and a surfeit of idle time. Most schools have been closed, and children are playing in the streets. Many construction projects and factories have been shut down, and men have been mobilized for the front. The Daura oil refinery on the outskirts of Baghdad, a potential target of Iranian fighters, has been closed down as a safety precaution. Along the palm-lined avenues, men sit in cafés and restaurants much of the day, sipping tea and exchanging the latest rumors about the war. Although gasoline is scarce, there appear to be no other shortages. Says...
Born in Mottingham and educated at Oxford's Balliol College, where he took a double first in classics and philosophy, Healey served as Defense Secretary (1964-70) and Chancellor of the Exchequer (1974-79). His bushy eyebrows, imposing girth and bare knuckle style make him a favorite target of cartoonists, who sometimes turn his teeth into fangs. "There's a Jekyll and Hyde aspect to him," says Tory Home Secretary William Whitelaw, using the caricaturists' horror-show imagery. "You sometimes get the impression that once Denis decides what is good for Britain and his party, he pursues...
