Although Harvard knocked off BC easily last week 4-0, tonight the Crimson fell behind early and was forced to play catch...
Against the odds, he clawed his way to Leningrad and the Kirov school at age 17 -- very late to start serious classical training. His sheer will and magnetism won the day. Perhaps because he began by playing catch-up, Nureyev was not considered a natural dancer. He was blessed with a high leap and, in addition to athletic vigor, the noble, generous moves that are nearly impossible to teach. But he lacked, say, the sublime coordination of Mikhail Baryshnikov, and he had to work hard for his technique; a former colleague recalls that he was always looking for someone...

Price pumped his long, lean legs, while Harvard junior James Ellis did what he's done all season: played catch-up and won. He clipped Price's knees and the junior stumbled onto the four yard line...
Computer researchers are always vying to cram just a little more information into a slightly smaller space. But a new technology just announced by scientists at AT&T Bell Laboratories may force the competition into playing catch-up for a long time to come. They have found a way to squeeze up to 45 billion bits of data onto a square inch of disk space -- 300 times as much as an ordinary disk, and 100 times as much as the most advanced magneto-optical technology. The system could put two copies of War and Peace on the head...
