Originally scheduled to graduate last June, the 98 make up 10% of the class of 1978. But in many ways they may always be in a class by themselves. They have been nicknamed the EE 304 cadets after the electrical-engineering course whose take-home examination was the focus of most of the charges. If the academy had followed tradition, none of the expelled cadets could have returned, for they had violated the rigid honor code: "A cadet will not lie, cheat or steal or tolerate those who do." It was only after an agonizing inquiry into the moral fabric...
Like many of his EE 304 colleagues, reported TIME's Barbara Dolan, Cadet Kenneth Curley saw his re-entry as both a new beginning and an end to humiliation. Curley, 22, was ranked seventh in leadership in his old class. He observes sardonically that he "would have been a real big shot" at the academy had he not become involved in the scandal. During his year in purgatory, spent back home in West Islip, N.Y., working as a kitchen helper and steeplejack, his parents got calls from anonymous taunters who would jeer, "I hear your...

Again last Friday, just when their long-awaited encounter seemed certain, misfortune intervened, this time in the form of the announcement that Tanzania was withdrawing its athletes from...
...cross-hatched cuts of Fenway's grass, the flag blowing out to straight away center, the packed Park shouting "Loo-ee, Loo-ee." Next slide, Freddie Lynn's arching home run finding its way to the Sox bullpen, click, the ugly scene of Lynn's body sprawled at the base of the Monster, a dissolve and a fade-in with the scoreboard Reds 6 Sox 3. Click, the Carbo miracle settling into the center field seats, click, Doyle out at the plate, the victory postponed, Morgan robbed by the golden glove of Evans, and finally the dancing, prancing Carlton Fisk...
