Cibotti, a junior forward, led the team in both rebounding (eight) and scoring (13 points). Keffer was the next highest point-grabber for the Crimson with 12, followed by senior Trisha Brown with eight. Sophomore Sarah Duncan contributed six rebounds...
Perhaps the biggest attention grabber in the Canada pavilion, however, is Hystar, a 16-ft. flying saucer that bears more than a passing resemblance to one of Steven Spielberg's interstellar luxury liners. Filled with helium and propelled by five tiny rotors, Hystar puts on a show in the main hall every 20 minutes, moving, without help of strings or wires, up, down and sideways, as if it had never heard of gravity.

But the ostentatious making of waves, which seemed an attention grabber rather than a justified military maneuver, stirred resentment at home and abroad. Panamanian Foreign Minister Juan José Amado, whose country has been supportive of U.S. peace efforts, said such actions will "cause concern and tension" in Latin America. Congressman Barnes, who will be one of eight congressional consultants to the Kissinger panel...
