...relief, but not much of one: Army's highly touted Barry De-Bolt will not pitch against the Crimson baseball team Saturday. Instead, the Army coach plans to use DeBolt at Brown today and to have Mac Hayes hurl at Harvard tomorrow. Hayes, by the way, has a 9-0 varsity record...
...hurl myself into the breach in defense of Paul Ricard, inventor of the finest drink since sour mash [Feb. 25].

As the particles drew closer together, the increasing annihilative reactions between matter and antimatter produced enough radiation pressure to reverse the contraction of the cloud and hurl its primeval matter outward in an expansion that has continued ever since...
