...feel too cheated, though Harvard, like most northeastern schools, plays one of the easiest Division I schedules in the country. Most of the teams that made it to the regionals are clearly better than the Crimson. Only Western Carolina (35-33) and Lamar (32-22) have winning percentages below...
...nice to win the ones you should win." Crimson Coach John Wentzell said. He added, though, that "those sometimes are not the easiest games...
...warheads launched would explode on or over their targets. That would cause mass loss of life, but could leave most U.S. retaliatory capacity intact. Boost-phase interception, however, is generally considered to be the key to an even partially effective defense. That is when the enemy projectiles are easiest to find: the intense heat of a missile's rocket thrusters, concedes the anti-S.D.I. Union of Concerned Scientists, makes it stand out "like a firefly in a darkened room." That is also when a missile defense is most efficient: a single hit, by a laser beam, for instance...
Terminal defense is easiest, technologically. Warheads, heated and slowed by friction with the atmosphere on re-entry to speeds of about two miles per second, could be tracked by airborne or even ground-based radar. They could be hit by interceptor rockets or pellets discharged by fragmentation bombs. But enough missiles would have to be destroyed in boost, and enough warheads in post-boost phase or mid-course, to keep the terminal defense from being overwhelmed. And then there is the problem of hitting the warheads high enough to minimize the effect of blast, fire and radiation on the ground...
Trailing the Huskies, 6-0, after two periods, the icewomen rallied back with two goals just when it would have been easiest to stay in the locker room and call it a night...
