...double by Bruce Weller got things going in the Crimson eighth, and Eliott Rivera then reached on an error. Ed Farrell's pop up behind second baseman Paul Dawley wreaked havoc in the Jumbo outfield, and while three fielders gathered round the ball dropped in for a run-scoring single. Farrell would have been caught going for second, but an errant throw allowed him to reach the bag. A Vinnie Martelli single scored Rivera and Farrell...
...similar pattern developed in the final stanza when the spikers built and eventually lost 4-1 and 9-5 advantages. Each time Ross sparked the rallies through his emphatic inside game only to see disorganization plague the squad. Once again the Panthers intensified their serving efforts and caused havoc in Harvard's setting. As Martin said, "They got passes to their hitters very easily whereas we had to battle to set up our offense." These problems and a last Panther spike ended the game...
Brutus, by contast, comes across very much as the brooding, thoughful central figure--an "honorable man" caught between considered morality and bold, heroic action.

Only an occasional flush, as he runs his fingers through thick curly hair or lets a nerve flicker in the corner of his mouth, reveals the turmoil written into the character...
Challenger's cargo is a revolutionary new satellite called TDRS (for tracking and data-relay satellite). It will open up communications with spacecraft beyond the range of ground stations. Additional delays would play havoc with NASA's timetable, postponing the placing in orbit of as many as 30 other satellites.

Says one irreverent NASA official: "Abrahamson is praying, 'Engines, heal thyself...

Despite the stickers boasting of the 4,000 plus dollars they pay each year in road taxes, they have never paid, and barring some radical transformation, will probably never pay for the havoc they wreak on highways. At the present time, trucks over 75,000 lbs pay only 45 percent of the costs they incur, and the interstates are deteriorating at a rate 50 percent greater than anticipated due to huge increases in truck volume and weight. A study done by the Illinois Department...
