...Tiger defense was unusually physical--almost dirty, according to a few Harvard players. Three yellow cards and a pair of penalties attest to Princeton's rough style. More Crimson booters hit the ground than in any other game this season...
Harvard's front five has allowed only 393 yards on the ground. Against Dartmouth, it constantly pressured Green QB Chris Rorke. Captain Kevin Dulsky and junior Jim Bell anchor one of the most fearsome front lines in the league...
...principal reason I have appointed a working group to develop guidelines to deal with such situations is to seek a set of ground rules that everyone in the Law School can rely on before and during a highly charged situation like this one. I am determined that Harvard Law School be a place where the right to hear and be heard will not be in doubt. Sincerely, James Vorenberg Dean, Harvard Law School
...precise chemical process is still uncertain, but the central role of CFCs is undeniable. Last month Barney Farmer, an atmospheric physicist at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., announced that his ground-based observations as a member of the 1986 Antarctic National Ozone Expedition pointed directly to a CFC-ozone link. "The evidence isn't final," he said, "but it's strong enough." Earlier this month, results from NASA's Punta Arenas project confirmed the bad news. Not only was the ozone hole more severely depleted than ever before -- fully 50% of the gas had disappeared during the polar...
...made or natural, that reach the stratosphere, nitrous oxide tends to stay there. Indeed, a recent National Academy of Sciences report likened the upper atmosphere "to a city whose garbage is picked up every few years instead of daily." As long as five years after it leaves the ground, N2O may finally reach altitudes of 15 miles and above, where it is broken apart by the same ultraviolet radiation that creates ozone. The resulting fragments -- called radicals -- attack and destroy more ozone molecules. Another ozone killer is methane, a carbon-hydrogen compound produced by microbes in swamps, rice paddies...
