...surrender of Irish chieftains in 1171. Beneath the figures, in the gilded hall of Dublin Castle, which was once the seat of British rule in Ireland, politicians from the North and South gathered last week to sign the long-awaited report of the New Ireland Forum, a promised blueprint for the future of the troubled land. Unfortunately, the forum's call for new solutions had already evoked a curt dismissal. Early that morning, Dublin residents awoke to find posters slapped on the city's central post office, the scene of the 1916 Easter rebellion against British rule...

And they are every bit as well coached as in '80. Vairo can match [former Head Coach] Herb Brooks at the blueprint table, and then top him with psychological motivation." Says Ken Morrow, an '80 alumnus who now plays dogged defense for the New York Islanders: "The 1984 team is more talented than we were, in speed, skating skill, stick handling and goal tending...
