...score is a testament to Harvard’s depth, as only one person, Teresa Codini, scored more than one of the Crimson’s two goals. Harvard rotated their players regularly and switched from sophomore Lydia Gardner to Miller at the half. Slowing down the game enabled Harvard to practice its passing, many times causing them to flirt with the shot clock before nailing one into the goal...
...Then there is Gardner?s bold claim that Kerry use to take PCF-44 four or five miles from shore every night so not to get shot at. When pressed how this could be so, since oftentimes they were 25 miles upriver, he backed down. ?Okay, when we were in the rivers we didn?t go to sea,? he averred. ?But he always tried to park it away from the action and hide.? The other members of PCF-44 were incredulous when they heard Gardner?s claim. To Wasser it was ?erroneous to his memory,? to Zaladonis ?just not true...
...Which brought the interview to the crux of Gardner?s beef against Kerry. Gardner-who remembers no important dates or times or locales-claims that Kerry once threatened him with a court martial. The incident happened when Gardner, who told me he had ?no trouble shooting gooks,? saw a Viet Cong guerilla with an AK-47 in a boat and started firing. ?I lay the hammer down on him,?

...hardnosed Gardner returned from Vietnam in February 1969; Kerry came home a month later. The two men haven?t spoken in nearly 35 years. Kerry has no recollection of any of Gardner?s accusations, including the threatening of a court martial. None of PCF-44?s crew trusts Gardner?s memory. Today Gardner claims he works at Millennium Services (an insurance inspection company) and is bitter about Kerry?s national prominence. At various times in our interview he complained about Kerry ?running around with Hanoi Jane? after the war and having a ?rich wife.? And-like Limbaugh-he is determined...
...When informed of Gardner?s accusations Kerry, campaigning in Texas, simply stated they weren?t true. ?He deserves respect because he served our country well,? Kerry says of Gardner. ?I left the country thinking well of Gardner and even tried to find him several times. But his stories are made up. It?s sad, but that?s the way it goes in war, and especially in politics.? And then he added: ?But don?t ask me. I know the guys, my other crewmates, and they?ll set the record straight...
