...attackers from Nicaragua with jeeps, mortars and automatic weapons routed the 15 customs guards in the local garrison. Figueres estimated the invasion spearhead at 800 to 1,000 men, of whom about 100 were genuine Costa Rican exiles.

Above all, there is skillful exploitation of the fierce beauty of aerial battle photography...

It will be a case of a well-packed Harvard team at nearly full strength versus a Terrier squad that lists three erack goalies as well as aggressive play-making forwards and a core of big, experienced defensemen...
