...modest. Everybody knows you've got all your big defensive guns back, primed and ready to go. Also back is tailback Rich Diana, only the third Yale runner ever to gain more than 1000 yards in a season. Just as importantly, senior quarterback John Rogan and a crop of talented receivers are back, promising to make Cozza's multiple-I formation a potent threat. Rogan will be looking for favorite receiver Curtis Grieve; that combination, as Harvard fans will painfully remember, buried the Crimson last November. All these potential offensive fireworks depend on Cozza's success in rebuilding his offensive...

As the new chairman of the Agriculture Committee, Helms insisted on a farm bill that would cut food stamps drastically. But his fellow Republicans on the panel, who knew the reductions would draw fierce Senate opposition to Helms' entire bill, dumped it and wrote...
