Soldini's good fortune--and Autissier's--held. Two and a half hours later, Soldini peered through the predawn gloom and spied the white upturned hull of Autissier's boat, the PRB, being pounded by waves the size of a four-story building. Twice he steered as close as he dared, but, he says, "I couldn't see her anywhere." Calling out her name and getting no answer, he feared the worst. On his third pass, he hurled a hammer at the hull.

Modano gave the Stars the early lead with his 21st goal, a one-timer near the right post from Brett Hull...
Spectacular flames rose from the freighter New Carissa after the U.S. Navy detonated explosives and napalm-spiked gasoline in its hull. The ship had run aground off the Oregon coast and storm-whipped waves had torn into it, threatening an environmental disaster if all 400,000 gallons of oil within leaked.

The maneuver seemed to work: the burning boat broke in two the next day, but only a fraction of the oil contaminated the beaches...
...impeachment and ouster of Governor Evan Mecham. After she became education chief, in 1995, Keegan battled with Governor--and soon to be convicted felon--Fife Symington.

...those who invariably tote around a copy of The Fountainhead--rife with the requisite pithy marginalia--will savor this lecture presented by the Harvard Objectivist Club. Dr. Gary Hull will speak about "Neo-Puritan Assault on Sex and Pleasure"-- offering a wonderfully diametrically alternative to the excessive, hedonistic pleasures of CityStep's Annual Ball. Why would anyone dance the night away in unnecessarily opulent getups when one could consider, instead, "the fusion of Plato, Christianity and Kantian - inspired nihilism"? Gosh...
