Holmes would have had another score but for a sprawling breakaway stop by Finch, who with 28 sparkling saves was equal to most of the firepower the Crimson threw at him. On the whole he faced the tougher chances, including a stop on a cute Spin-o-Rama move by junior Cory Gustafson (were you watching, Denis Savard...
...advocates, now including prestigious law firms, are determined to prove Myers right. Steffan's case, which the Pentagon can appeal, is just one of 50 wending their way through the court system in hopes of upsetting the Pentagon policy. They variously attack the policy as violating the due-process, equal- protection and free-speech rights of gay soldiers.

Bleary-eyed as the clock ticked past midnight, the negotiators bargained over final details.

Three years later, I'm standing on the sidewalk...
Washington's flirtation with Asia is also designed to make Europe jealous. U.S. trade across the Pacific is already 50% greater than its transatlantic counterpart, a sizable change from 1980, when the figures were about equal. The European Community knows that APEC could provide the U.S. with a consortium to fall back on in the event of a breakdown in current negotiations over the 111-nation General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, which aims to reduce trade barriers throughout the world. As a Dec. 15 deadline approaches, those talks have bogged down on several issues, especially the European Community...
