...white-hulled vessel Kvitungen, carrying six expert Norwegian seal hunters to and fro between half a dozen uninhabited islands. Snapping at their heels was the 500-ton trawler Rainbow Warrior, crewed by 14 militant ecologists. Bringing up the rear were three boatloads of eager journalists, with reinforcements overhead in helicopters and light aircraft.

There are always eager crowds, but no lines, around the toy counter, which offers such items as a huge stuffed panda for $47, a solidly built dump truck for about $4.75, and a battery-powered submachine gun for $6.25.

When long passes to the ever-eager Sue St. Louis, or back striker Ellen Hart, did find their way deep into the Brown end, at least in the first half, the speed of the Brown left-fullback, Melissa Ching, and the calm assurance of goalie Tina Neal--who ventured from the line to corral many a ball near the edge of the penalty area--kept the Crimson at bay. She fielded long...
