...overall returns from the fields reveal this strong current of worker opposition to Chavez and the coercive nature of the boycotts. But the boycotts' insidious purpose can be seen even more clearly by noting the results in the areas to which they were aimed.

Princeton should have good depth (15 returning lettermen and some good freshmen), but again the squad might have trouble putting the ball...
