After another time out, Dartmouth passed in again -- this time from halfcourt, and Joe Colgan missed a desperation jump shot at the buzzer...
...major purpose of all the influx and indexing is the daily compilation of a slim white 8-in. by 10½-in. document that is delivered to the White House in a black CIA car every evening between 6 and 7 o'clock.
