Wesleyan was without its top scorer when it played the Crimson to a virtual standstill last Fall before losing 2-1, and is a typical small college team, not blessed with abundant talent but well-drilled and aggressive. Unless Harvard can generate some offense of its own, Wesleyan will be in the Crimson end all afternoon...
Practically nothing went right. Though the developer had promised a virtual utopia, he had carefully put nothing in writing. Dazzled by heady dreams of a new life, the Plunketts unwisely paid in full for their house before it was completed to their satisfaction. Once they had done so, the two city suckers could bring no pressure on the builder, who skimped as he pleased. The Plunketts were forced to pay $2,100 for an ecological sewer system and $800 for a septic tank that is still not working properly; they have been reduced to using a campsite toilet...

The little kingdom has been a virtual outcast in Arab ranks ever since September 1970, when Hussein and his army clamped down, with much bloodshed, on the fedayeen operating in his country. The crackdown cost Jordan's King a badly needed subsidy from Libya's Muammar Gaddafi ($20 million annually) and froze Kuwait's substantial contribution ($40 million annually) to Jordan. In August 1971, after the Jordanians threw out the remaining fedayeen forces, neighboring Syria severed diplomatic relations. A year later, Sadat broke...
Plans for the Institute, four years in the offing, have been beset by many of the same troubles that have plagued the Afro Department's early existence.

...still the most popular man in Israel, although his hawkish views and proclivity for shooting from the hip in public statements make it a long shot that he will ever become Prime Minister. Politics aside, his present position gives him virtual rule over the territories captured in the 1967 Arab-Israeli war. Married for the second time last month to Rahel Korem, 47, Dayan keeps up a furious schedule visiting the occupied territories-a fact that gives him considerable visibility and influence in the government...
