After Harvard's offense could generate nothing for three plays, the Elis began a long march down the field, eating up large chunks of yardage on a Harvard personal foul and a 17-yd. Kehler-to-Caravella connection. Yale running back Chris Kouri capped off the 10-play drive with a 1-yd. plunge off left tackle. Harvard led, 21-14, but the Crimson contingent was getting nervous...
Elections for an independent Namibia were less than a week away when South Africa, which has controlled the country for 74 years, called foul. Pretoria dramatically claimed that hundreds of Marxist SWAPO guerrillas were infiltrating illegally into the country, posing a serious threat to a free and fair vote.

Even before leaving the police station, Yeltsin asked that the matter be dropped -- understandably enough, since the attempt at foul play never actually happened.

One dangerous block crashed into a seat in Section 53. Only a moment before, its occupant had gone...
...through the later decades of the 19th century, the explosive industrialism that was the engine of American wealth pounded fiercely at the workers who kept it running. Factories were foul and dangerous. Twelve-hour workdays were common. Wages were driven mercilessly downward. Depressions periodically rattled the economy, erasing millions of jobs that paid little even in the best of times. In an increasingly desperate atmosphere, labor and capital faced off along a line drawn in blood...
