DARTMOUTH-HOLY CROSS--Oh, Dad, Poor Dad, Jake's A-Hanging in the Closet and We're Feeling So Sad. My ass. I've enough pent-up resentment against Big Green superiority over the last four years not to flinch if Dartmouth repeats last week's UNH loss eight more times this season. Rick Klupchak is out for this one, and Holy Cross is better than UNH. Vomit is Green. Holy Cross 20, Dartmouth...
...CHADWICK does not flinch even a bit as he sits in Winthrop House dining hall. Light more intense than 10,000 suns is incandescing behind his sealed eyes, but he feels no pain.

Holt...
Instant action! Calamity! Martin flinches a giant's flinch, falls off his chair and bangs his face against the metal leg of the kitchen table. He breaks off two teeth. The last sentences of Goldberg's story are these: "Slowly, leaking out of every muscle in his body, the tears gathered. Rushing forward, the little printer took his trembling son in his arms and, caressing him like an infant, cried triumphantly for all the world to hear, 'You're a good boy, Martin. You're a good...
