...season opened in November against the fiercest foe the Crimson had faced in four year--the U.S. Olympic Team. With Harvard alumnus Scott Fusco '86 and undergraduates Lane MacDonald and Allen Bourbeau, Team USA had a touch of Crimson. The Olympians proved as fierce as their high-scoring reputation, scorching Harvard...
From there the battle was joined in a reprise of many of the social issues that have provided an emotional subtext of American politics for the past 20 years. The fiercest conflict emerged over abortion. While Bush seemed discomfited by a question about what punishment would be appropriate if abortions, as he urged, were made illegal, Dukakis immediately jumped on the issue to declare, "I think that what the Vice President is saying is that he is prepared to brand a woman a criminal for making this decision."

Here too there are plenty of reminders of potential trouble. Green military staff cars dart about the streets, their horns blowing at pedestrians and the occasional horse-drawn cart to make room for P.L.A. officers on their way to the regimental headquarters of the specially trained border...
