Meanwhile, Cornell's ironclad defense held the Blue Jays two big guns, attackmen Mike O'Neill and Rich Hirsch, to just one goal apiece...
...Edmund's autobiography scarcely seemed an ironclad source, so Trevor-Roper conducted his hunt elsewhere: in dusty Foreign Office records, in letters now reposing in Toronto, in files of U.S. and British companies. The exposé searched for an aberrant scholar and turned up a consummate rogue. Trapped by bad debts, Backhouse had dropped out of Oxford. In 1898 he showed up in China with faked references; 15 years later he shipped the Bodleian some 17,000 volumes of chinoiserie; later he contributed 18 manuscripts that were blatant forgeries and promised other treasures that did not exist. During World...

By ironclad rule, they are scrupulously nonpartisan; no nation has ever rejected them for political reasons. In the Viet Nam, October and Angolan wars, M.S.F. offered help to all; the doctors themselves have so far sustained no casualties. They are also unfazed by the unexpected; after Nicaragua...
