Controversy boiled up. Evans, who swam against a notoriously drug-aided East German team, is a straight-arrow in the matter of performance-enhancing substances. When the U.S. authorities refused to ban 15-year-old freestyler Jessica Foschi, who had tested positive for a steroid, Evans objected that the team was throwing away its moral right to object, for instance, to drug use by the Chinese. And then a pint-size, cheeky 15-year-old named Brooke Bennett, who reminded some people of a younger Janet Evans (and who beat Evans soundly in the 400 free in May 1995), began...
According to Scali, the commission generally investigates five or six establishments at one time in order to avoid singling out one bar. The Hong Kong Restaurant, Grendel's Den, the Spaghetti Club and the Bow and Arrow Pub were the other area bars searched by the Cambridge police on April...

...faced. When should the bonds of family give way to the obligations to society? And how, in the intricate and ambiguous dealings between brothers, can anyone be sure that an apparent act of principle isn't also, ever so slightly, a subtle act of retaliation? "David is a straight arrow, sensitive and moral. He didn't want to hurt his brother," notes Father Melvin La Follette, an Episcopal priest and a friend. "But at the same time, he was scrupulous. He wanted to do the right thing." David once trekked 40 miles to return an Indian flint knife...
