This weekend, the men's team placed a distant ninth in the 12-team fleet at the Atlantic Coast championships at Yale, rounding out an up-and-down fall season. But despite the dismal showing against the victorious Elis, coach Michael Horn has reason to look forward to an interesting spring season. Remembering the triumphs of last fall--last week's impressive victory in the War Memorial Trophy regatta against a fleet that included Yale and a host of other New England powerhouses, as well as the early-season victory in the Penobscot Bay Open regatta--all Horn...

He points to the increasing expertise of co-captains Russell Long and Jim Hammitt, and the depth provided by other skippers such as Steve Strittmatler, Nick Stone and Andy Efstathiou.

...Ethiopians, who are also righting a rebellion in the northern province of Eritrea, receive massive military aid from the Soviet Union. Until recently, Moscow also held Somalia in the iron grip of its friendship; but then it made the mistake of trying to expand its influence in the Horn of Africa by extending aid to both Somalia and Ethiopia, even though the two were ancient enemies. The volatile Somalis were enraged at the Russians' perfidy and stepped up their support for the Ogaden rebels. Meanwhile, the Soviets have reportedly supplied Ethiopia with MiG-21s and MiG-23s, heavy artillery...
