Their shape may turn out to be a structural achievement that on the molecular level is as noteworthy as the keystone arch. "This molecule," says IBM physicist Donald Bethune, "looks like something some genius engineer sat down and designed." In essence, a buckyball forms a cage that begs to be filled. By placing different atoms inside the cage, scientists should be able to engineer materials with unique electronic, catalytic and even biomedical properties. One intriguing possibility: if they prove nontoxic, buckyballs might encapsulate radioactive atoms used in cancer therapy, serving as shields that protect normal tissue from damage...
Harvard's passing was anything but inaccurate. The Crimson moved the ball efficiently, eluding Big Green obstacles while consistently finding the back of the Dartmouth cage. Freshman Francie Walton and classmate Downing both tallied off of fast break opportunities while Gaffney and Hansen beat second-string goalie Lauren Anderson to boost Harvard's lead to 8-0 at intermission...
Harvard scored only 30 seconds into the contest, when Mike Porter blistered around the cage and drove to the middle, firing a hard shot by Yale netminder Rich Dressler...
...Elis, however, reserved the true onslaught for the third quarter. Whether running or playing settled, Yale crushed Harvard, blowing by the Crimson defenders and tallying easy goals from within 10 yards of the cage...
