...John Lee, varsity wrestling coach, notes, "The biggest barrier is often the feeling that they can't make it. The reputation is too scary." It is often necessary to talk Harvard down, to humanize the place by making it clear that people other than Roosevelts and Cabots go to the school, to make the apprehensive athlete realize he can survive in Cambridge. Yet the Harvard myth, the Crimson tradition that is supposed to "sell itself," runs counter to such a self-effacing approach...
...whether coaches should travel," Jewett says, adding, "I simply would not argue that this is a necessary item of expense." The cost of financing a typical year's worth of recruiting trips--which Ivy League athletic officials estimate could run from $10,000 to $20,000--is the main barrier to opening up the Harvard travel restriction, he says.

Despite the protection offered a fetus by the so-called placental barrier, there is growing evidence that certain activities of a pregnant woman-smoking cigarettes, taking drugs, pursuing extreme diets-can seriously affect its wellbeing. Last week the Federal Government singled out a special danger. Citing evidence that "fetal alcohol syndrome" may be more widespread than had been supposed, the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism warned pregnant women that consuming more than three ounces of pure alcohol-or perhaps as little as one ounce (two drinks)-a day could increase the risk of their giving birth...

As three carloads of Singen police gave chase, the pair took a wrong turn that brought them to a dead-end barrier near a brook. In the ensuing battle, a policeman grabbed the fleeing man's submachine gun and wounded the woman in the leg. The man was shot in the head. Ballistic tests later showed that the same gun had been used in the Buback murders...
