...game. The ploy is to keep pressure and not let them have much breathing room.” Another sign of Harvard’s offensive dominance was the lopsided ratio of corner kicks—which the Crimson led Fairfield 14 to 5. Aside from the one blemish on his record, junior Adam Hahn had an otherwise steady night in goal by turning aside six shots from the Stags. The lone Fairfield goal was scored by Mike Troy on a free kick from just under 20 yards out. By beating the Stags in Fairfield, the Crimson ended the Stags?...

CASPAR WEINBERGER, 88, wry, intellectual public servant whose long record of toil in the White Houses of Presidents Nixon, Ford and Reagan was marred by a late, rare blemish: a 1992 indictment for allegedly covering up facts in the Iran-contra scandal, which he vigorously denied and for which he was pardoned; in Bangor, Maine. As Reagan's Defense Secretary, Weinberger presided over a $2 trillion peacetime military buildup?the biggest in U.S. history?and backed the controversial, never-implemented Strategic Defense Initiative, or Star Wars. After finding himself at odds with Reagan's arms-control negotiations with Mikhail...
