Last year the highly vaunted Crimson lost a disappointing match to Princeton in front of 1000 very partial fans in New Jersey, losing the Ivy and national titles as well. Fish hopes that this year Harvard fans will provide an "awesome" home court advantage when the Tigers invade Hemenway...
Much of the Soviet maritime marketing effort in the U.S. is bossed by Arthur C. Novacek, 50, a canny Nebraskan of Czech descent who is president of New Jersey-based Morflot American Shipping Inc.

There was time for visits to New York City mental wards and pilgrimages to the scene of a second marriage-an abandoned New Jersey farm, where through overgrown fields he wandered, calling the name of a long-lost cat. The badly aged Wunderkind died of a heart attack in a Times Square-area hotel while struggling downstairs with his garbage. The measure of Atlas' biography is that he does not exploit the implications of that curtain scene. With admirable restraint he suggests that Schwartz was a lyric...
