...Right now I don't have enough money. Bills go up, they don't go down. Last year, I told her next year. This year, I'm telling her the same thing. But I do hope to go next year. The problem is I work in the summer and eight weeks goes by very fast. Two weeks vacation is too short. It's 900 dollars for nothing. By the time you go you have to come back. If it was a month, it would be different...
...tossing black balls--deciding magazine fate. And next week, once again, we wuss out. But this time it's your fault: You won't be here. Venerable Thanksgiving arrives once again, sending us home on the Delta Shuttle. Need turkey-stuffing tips? See "How To: Stuff a Turkey" (page eight). In our hearts will be those left to fend for themselves. We apologize that FM listings (starting page 16) end on Wednesday, just when stranded students might start looking beyond...
...Yale defender; a faded black-and-white photographer's rendering of the 1911 Harvard-Yale game; a blown-up snapshot of Harvard's championship celebration two seasons ago after a 17-7 win against Yale.

No wait, pass interference--a second opportunity proves worthy; Yale 29, Harvard 21, 42 seconds remaining. Onside kick. Harvard recovers, quickly drives down the field. Three seconds remaining, eight yard line. On the final play, Gatto catches touchdown pass for the score. Down two, no time remaining. Two point conversion successful, game ends in 29-29 tie. Both Harvard and Yale finish with identical 8-0-1 records...
Since its heartbreaking loss to Brown to open the 1999 season, the Yale football team has been on a roll, winning eight games in a row to post its longest winning streak since 1981. After a dismal 1-9 record in Coach Jack Siedlicki's first season at Yale in 1997, the Bulldogs showed vast improvement last year in going 6-4 to finish tied for second in the Ivy League. Siedlicki now looks to take the next step, with his team at 8-1 and poised to take a share of the league title...
