...reason For Your Eyes Only seems a little less brawny than recent arrivals in the Bond series was an inadequately evil set of villains. "Jaws," the goon of recent Bonds, has mercifully departed, but he has not been replaced by anyone of commensurate ghoulishness. One hit man, in fact, bears an uncanny resemblance to Rob Reiner, Archie Bunker's meat-head son-in-law and a decidedly unterrifying figure...
...choice between dishonor (offered by oily No. 1 villain, Paul Freeman) and slow death (eagerly threatened by No. 2 menace, Ronald Lacey). If Indiana finds a secret passage out of a sealed tomb, you may be sure he's soon going to have to grapple with a goon amid whirling airplane propellers-and then, bloodied and bushed, roar off on a spectacular chase. The great difference between Raiders and its humble progenitors is that one doesn't have to wait a week to find out where the escape hatch is hidden...
...succession of army convoys and police stations, slaying 120 soldiers and police. The army responded with a vengeance.

He is too fast to be slashed and high-sticked by hockey's ever present goon squads. "Some guys hit me, but guys miss a lot too," he laughs.

Says Sather: "I have...
...second period's lone goal, a three-on-one rifle by the goon-of-the-month Karl Habib at 16:25, upped the margin to 5-1, and despite another lamplighter by Olson (his 17th) and Murray's shorthanded effort, the icemen couldn't close the gap. The loss dropped the Crimson to 8-10-1 ECAC and 11-12-1 overall. Cornell is 10-9-1 in conference play...
