...Ivies last year. The lacrosse team picked up several recruits who should help the laxmen make another bid for the league title this year: Mark Follows of Ontario, Can.; Perry Dodge of Philadelphia, Penn.; Rich Meagher, a high school All-American from Needham, Mass.; Mark Donovan of Syracuse, N.Y.; Dan Berkerey of Wellesley, Mass.; Chris Bentley and David Kramer, who both received All-Long Island honors at Cold Springs Harbor, N.Y.; and Mark Donovan and Craig Costin, teammates from Syracuse...

To some it sounded intrusive, even bossy, the sort of thing an earnest, not very close friend might say uneasily to end a chance meeting...
...criminally negligent during the filming of a Viet Nam War sequence in which a helicopter, disabled by a special-effects explosion, crashed onto Morrow, 53, and Vietnamese Actors Renee Chen, 6, and Myca Dinh Le, 7. The director and two other colleagues, Associate Producer George Folsey and Production Manager Dan Allingham, are charged with an additional count of manslaughter for endangering the lives of Chen and Le. Attorneys for the defendants say they have admitted they violated ; childlabor law by hiring the children without permits and letting them work as late as 2:20 a.m., the time of the fatal...
