...Whyte finally were able to shake the Brown defenders off their jerseys, each scoring a goal in the last five minutes of the game. At 13:47 into the final period, Joslin took the puck out of the Crimson zone and carried it untouched all the way down the ice. The senior All-Ivy defender then faked out Rendell, giving Harvard room to breathe as she knocked the puck into the unattended...
...Crusaders, who went on to win the game, 86-67, slipped some ice cubes onto the Crimson hands, and Harvard cooled off faster than you can say "Look out, zamboni on the basketball floor...

After a couple of weeks, I had gotten to the point where, instead of dreaming about screeching hawks, I was dreaming about ice cream trucks. Given a few more weeks, I'm sure I would have dreamt about choirs, or even singing angels...
...snipping a particular gene from bacteria so that the redesigned microbes resisted frost formation down to 24 degrees F. Theoretically, crops sprayed with the microbes could be protected from cold snaps. In 1983 Lindow got permission from the NIH to test his bugs, which he called ice-minus, on a small plot of potatoes in Northern California...
Outside the courtroom, Rifkin warned that the widespread use of ice-minus would lead to all sorts of natural disasters, including the disruption of rainfall patterns. (Lindow and his backers say this is hogwash. They note that the ice-fighting bacteria, developed into a commercial product called Frostban, was sprayed on a test field in 1987. As they predicted, it proved harmless.) Typically, Rifkin would plunge into a scientific setting, armed with papers from dissident researchers, and warn about the potentially catastrophic consequences of inadequately regulated research. Says geneticist Zinder: "The accusations are made simply, with simple words...
