...fullback. A more than capable duo. RECEIVERS: Restic will shuffle his receivers, with Chuck Shirey--who also handles the punts--getting the starting nod. Lots of speed here, but ability is questionable. No Crimson wide out has ever caught a pass in a varsity game. No Crimson wider receiver has caught a touchdown pass in three years. * RECEIVERS: Wide Receiver Ron Gillam, who has four touchdowns receiving, is the top pass catcher and flankers Harry Mehre and Dave Szydlik are deep threats. Extremely talented group. Will test Harvard defensive secondary. OFFENSIVE LINE: Only George Kostakos returns from last year...
That situation may have been aggravated by the increasing exposure of the Chinese people to an ever wider array of influences from abroad. One week there is talk of a Disney-style amusement park for southern Peking. The next, General Motors delivers a fleet of 20 Cadillac limousines to be used by visiting businessmen. Last April, party officials, after solemnly viewing videotapes of the British rock group Wham!, allowed the band to appear in Peking, complete with scantily clad go-go dancers and pelvis-thrusting vocalist. A golf course is scheduled to open next May in the historic Valley...

Claimed Robert Greenstein, director of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, which has been highly critical of the President's policies: "The new Census data show that the gap between rich and poor in the U.S. is now wider than at any time since Census began collecting income-distribution data in 1947." Nor was Greenstein sanguine about the future. "It's a one-year drop," he said. "Unless we get an unusually robust economic growth, the poverty rate in 1985 is not going to show a significant decline." The Census...
That tangled web of espionage might have made for amusing reading had it emerged from the pages of a spy novel. Instead it leaped from the headlines of West German newspapers last week, as the country's most serious spy scandal in more than a decade grew even wider. Chancellor Helmut Kohl found the revelations anything but amusing. In an effort to limit the damage, Kohl last week dismissed Heribert Hellenbroich, 48, chief of the Federal Intelligence Service...
...these broadcasts, as it increasingly does, the message is resolutely "pro-family" and conservative. The TV empires greatly increase the public clout of conservative preachers, who have become celebrities, generating huge cash flows through on-the-air fund raising. Doctrinaire Protestantism is bursting beyond church walls into the wider society. Not since the 1920s have political Fundamentalists been as well financed, visible, organized and effective. Deeply committed believers, working long and zealously, get tavern hours trimmed in Anchorage; disrupt school-board meetings in Hillsboro, Mo., as they demand to control curriculum; force doctors to stop performing abortions in Virginia Beach...
