...list of veterans is headed up by not one, but two outstanding goalies--juniors Stephen Hall and Chad Reilly. Hall is a talented European player who started four games for a 1.25 goals-against average before bowing out due to illness. Reilly, a walk-on two years ago and back-up as of September, by December found himself sparking the squad's Final Four drive...
Colonel Muammar Gaddafi suffered the worst defeat of his 18-year rule of Libya five months ago when his troops were driven out of northern Chad. Last week Chadian President Hissene Habre sought to double the Libyans' humiliation by sending his army to capture the Aouzou Strip, a disputed border region.

In this scene, Raphael also reminds us of Orton's message that we are all guests...

Some Western observers, however, believe a Libyan presence in | the Pacific may foreshadow a larger political offensive by its ally, the Soviet Union. In recent months Moscow has been enlarging its Pacific fleet and trying to negotiate fishing agreements with a number of Pacific countries...
