...magic of the underdog unquestionably is riding with Billy Cleary's young, fast-skating, suddenly goal-happy crew. The dam burst last week as the Crimson offense pushed, tipped, blasted, deflected, directed and instructed ten pucks into the opposition net against Northeastern. And Friday night at Bright Center, just to show they could do it again, the icemen produced seven goals against St. Lawrence--four by freshman Phil Falcone and three by sophomore right wing Greg Olson, who now leads the team with 11. The win ended Harvard's seven game ECAC losing streak (Beanpot contests don't count...
...Government's traditional answer to the kind of flooding that bedeviled Soldiers Grove is to build a dam or a levee. Both, at one time or another, have been ordered for the Kickapoo. But in 1975, after environmentalists complained about pollution from the proposed construction, these projects were stalled. At about the same time, studies began to show that the projected dam would not fully protect Soldiers Grove-or the other towns downstream from it-despite a price tag that topped $50 million. The annual maintenance of a proposed $3.5 million levee system would have doubled property taxes. Staying...
DIED. Kazimierz Michalowski, 79, Polish archaeologist who headed an international team that dismantled, and then reconstructed on higher ground the magnificent Egyptian temples at Abu Simbel in order to save them from flooding caused by the construction of the Aswan High Dam in the 1960s; of unannounced causes; in Warsaw.

Verdi: Aïda (Mirella Freni, soprano; José Carreras, tenor; Agnes Baltsa, mezzo-soprano; Piero Cappuccilli, baritone; Ruggero Raimondi, bass; é van Dam, bass; Katia Ricciarelli, soprano; Thomas Moser, tenor; Vienna State Opera Chorus and the Vienna Philharmonic, Herbert von Karajan, conductor; Angel; three LPs). That old Ethiopian slave girl and would-be war bride finds a new and glorious incarnation in Mirella Freni, whose voice may not move pyramids but finds its way to the heart of the role. This is particularly true in the Nile Scene, where Aïda tussles with her passion for Radames...
...time runs out. Even during the first two periods--before the Huskies struck six times in 13:48, including three in 1:14--Harvard skated well, but repeatedly surrendered the puck in its own zone and failed to clear the area in front of netminder Wade Lau. When the dam finally broke, Lau, who could be faulted for only a few of the goals, faced a swarming, goal-hungry pack of Husky red-black-and-white...
