While Dartmouth’s offense might give Harvard problems, the Crimson’s forwards seem sure to trouble Big Green goaltender Nick Boucher. Boucher is an enigma—sometimes shutting down high-powered offenses and other times yielding seven goals to teams like Clarkson and St. Lawrence...
...Blues. But upstairs, in the nightclub's Foundation Room, the party rocked on. The VIP area, decked out in opium-den chic, is where show-biz types go to guzzle champagne in roped-off security. Unfortunately, by the time rock-music pioneer Phil Spector met B-movie actress Lana Clarkson there, the careers of both had seen better days: he was a legendary has-been; she had been a wannabe for way too long. The encounter would prove fatal...
...Clarkson gravitated toward him by nature and by duty. She'd just been hired as a hostess in the VIP area, and she was also a nonstop networker. "She was hyper--30 decibels loud, 90 miles a minute, always trying to get something going," says ex-boyfriend Robert Hall.

Less than three hours later, she was dead, shot in the head, her body lying in a pool of blood in his castle's foyer, a cavernous, wood-paneled, red-carpeted hallway with two suits of medieval armor standing sentry. Spector's driver called the police, who arrived in minutes. The producer's attorney, Robert Shapiro, of O.J. Simpson fame, declined to comment...
CHARGED. PHIL SPECTOR, 62, legendary record producer turned virtual recluse; with first-degree murder in connection with the fatal shooting of B-movie actress Lana Clarkson; in Los Angeles. A close friend of John Lennon, Spector co-produced the Beatles' final album Let It Be. His revolutionary "wall of sound" recording techniques transformed the music industry, making possible such 1960s pop hits like the Ronettes' Be My Baby and the Righteous Brothers' You've Lost That Loving Feeling. Spector has been released on $1 million bail and will be represented by Robert Shapiro, the lawyer who played a key role...
