...look like what you'd think, says forward and captain Kaarina Hello, "In fact there is no one intimidatingly huge on the team." Harvard's team is much smaller than most, typified by 5-ib, 4-in., 110-Ib match secretary Hemy Jelin "Some of the best players are really small, quick and agile, " the sophomore says...

Born: To the Sony Walkmans, first family of portable tape decks; an heir. Name: Watchman. Weight: 1 Ib. 3 oz. Height: 7% in. Thickness: 1% in. The offspring is bigger than its forebears: the Watchman is a television-and a flat one at that. Using a new 1¼in. black-and-white picture tube that looks like a pygmy canoe paddle, Sony has turned out a set that is more streamlined and less bulky than existing tiny TVs. The Watchman, with a 2-in. screen and sleek metallic finish, not only looks good everywhere but can work just about...
