...Green scored twice to make it 14-11, but Buletza smashed one home to give Harvard the side out, and then, like Karch Kiraly to Steve Timmons in the 1988 Olympic gold medal game against the Russians, he set up Taxy perfectly for the monster kill...
...remains the land of upward mobility. The state has produced legions of homegrown sports stars (sprinter Florence Griffith Joyner, high diver Greg Louganis, slugger Darryl Strawberry) and has polished the skills of legions more who moved to California to train (swimmer Janet Evans, decathlete Jackie Joyner-Kersee, volleyball player Karch Kiraly).

Gum disease is caused by bacteria that produce a colorless, sticky film called plaque, which, if left undisturbed by a toothbrush or dental floss, leaves a hard residue known as tartar. As plaque accumulates...
