...even without superstars, the Crimson put on a good show this year. A show, no doubt, Harvard fans will remember...
...even as he bathed in a gusher of success sweeter than any he enjoyed 30 years ago in the oil business, George Herbert Walker Bush showed some of the symptoms of doubt and caution that festoon his political record.

"There is no doubt," says Dr. Margaret Fischl, an AIDS researcher at the University of Miami School of Medicine, "that this virus, when it comes into contact with any mucous membrane, is going to be transmitted." Men and women, she insists, are equally vulnerable...
