...favorite piece of classical music. Not surprising, given his predilection for the militaristic. Ironically, the piece was written during a lull in national spirit, and commemorates the battle in which Napoleon was defeated on the outskirts of Moscow.

...game started off poorly for the Crimson squad would be the understatement of the season. If they had played the national anthem before the game, the band wouldn't have gotten past the first few bars before Northeastern had a man hugging each base. And the bombs were just bursting when Scott Medowsky hit a grand slam that put Harvard in the hold by four...

Next the new Yankees took the field against the Minnesota Twins. They hit the ball all over the new park, beat back a 4-0 deficit and won the game 11-4. George Steinbrenner told the newspapers that he wanted to see 100,000 people in his new park by the end of the three game series. He got his wish...
