...minutes mantra necessitates, Harvard came out swinging from the very beginning against the Big Green. As the defense killed a couple of penalties early, the offense was able to put together a series of quality scoring chances. And while Dartmouth goaltender Mike Devine was able to keep the game scoreless until well into the second period, the Crimson never lost its intensity, even when its early efforts were denied...
Nationwide, no fewer than eight black House members--including New York's Charles Rangel and Texas' Al Green--represent districts that are more than 25% Latino and must therefore depend heavily on Latino votes.

...wins, freeing a bunch of pows. The new Rambo is supposed to be back in the antiwar camp. "What I was trying to say is that nothing changes. The world will never come together and say we are one," Stallone says, smoking a cigar and wearing a tight Army-green shirt in his Beverly Hills office, which is decorated with some paintings of Rocky that he made. "Rambo thought he would have accomplished something with all he's given. I think about the lifelong police officer who retires after 50 years, and crime is up. He's gotten hurt...
