...been different. Ron Cuccia has seen numbers this year he never thought he'd see--numbers like oh-for-four and one-for-two passing days, numbers like a sub-44 per cent completion rate, or a ranking of eighth out of eight starting Ivy quarterbacks. He has thrown for 200 yards once this year, in the season's second game, and 100 yards only two other times; this from a man who threw for 500 yards in a game four times in high school.

Girls are no longer thrown out of most high schools for getting pregnant, or packed off to a home for unwed mothers. Now whites, like blacks, are more likely to bear the child and refuse to put it up for adoption. In the late '60s and early '70s, about 71% of unwed white pregnant teen-agers and 26% of blacks married in haste before the birth of a child. By the late '70s, the number...
