...control. The second isn’t, and could change, if this veteran varsity (20 returning letterwinners) finds a way to improve on last year’s punchless scoring average of 2.35 goals per game, second-worst in the league.

In 2001, about 5,000 Bangladeshis participated in peace-keeping operations along with only 1,000 US soldiers and 100 Chinese. Instead of burning the U.N. flag, perhaps last week’s Salient should have considered a mass burning of the flags of the US, Britain, Russia, China and 187 other states...
