...Sophomore defenseman snapped out of an O-for-varsity (22 games) scoring slump with three goals and three assists in non-league action over vacation, including two goals and an assist against Minnesota-Duluth December 30. He realizes his primary duties are at the blueline, but Sheehy will have an eye out for an opening when the Harvard hockey team (5-6 overall, 4-4 ECAC) returns to league action tonight at B.C.'s McHugh Forum in a 7:30 contest...

Much of the credit for this belongs to Paul Schrader, who scripted Taxi Driver and was called in to assist Mardik Martin with Raging.

The U.S. team was not allowed to interview potential murder witnesses, including the local justice of the peace, who signed a hasty burial permit and presumably had information about the killings...
...that the boundless riches lie, awaiting the power shovel and the drill. Energy developers first began arriving in droves in 1973, when OPEC hiked its prices fourfold and jolted the nation's oil and gas companies into searching for additional supplies. Jimmy Carter gave the developers a big assist in 1979 when he announced his intention to tap the region's energy supplies by setting up an Energy Mobilization Board to speed up the building of refineries, pipelines, coal mines and synthetic fuel plants. He also proposed an Energy Security Corporation to funnel public funds for further research...
