That is where, the captain has been told, he has the best opportunity to intercept a large shipment of U.S.-bound marijuana. Once past the channel, a smuggler has an excellent chance of reaching Florida or Louisiana, whose labyrinthine coastal waterways provide concealment for off-loading the precious cargo into smaller, speedier boats known as bullets...
...comet, perhaps a chunk of debris left over from the early solar system, will return to the earth's vicinity for the first time since 1910.

All he's done is intercept an Ivy League-leading seven passes (including one for 93 yds. and a touchdown in the 20-12 victory over Cornell). Senior safety Mike Jacobs, who has four interceptions and the game-saving play on a two-point conversion in Harvard's 17-16 triumph over Brown, junior cornerback Pete...
With Princeton still leading 1-0, Michael Smith took advantage of a Tiger defensive miscue to intercept the ball about 12 yards outside the net. Only a stellar save by an out-or-position Princetion goalie Kept Smith from knotting the score...
