...quick goal gave Dartmouth a 1-0 lead, but more importantly, solid backchecking and clutch defense kept the slightly nervous (at first) Gaudet from being too severely tested. Everything hung together for the Big Green until 8:32 of the second, when a miserably-timed line and defense change gave UNH a three-on-zero break and a tie game. The Wildcats needed only 37 seconds to go out in front, but Dartmouth fought back until Steve Higgins made the match, as Bud Collins would say, "dead even" with less than 14 minutes left in regulation...

The glowing bride, Vittoria lanni, 22, received a papal buss and so did the nervous groom, Mario Maltese, 24. "May you have long life and may you see the sons of your sons," prayed the Pope in nuptial blessing. Later in the week, the Pope tuned in the state-owned second radio network to catch the premiere broadcast...
...said, "is the right of the people of Uganda alone." So why did his forces pursue Big Daddy so long and hard? In a speech at Dar es Salaam last week, Nyerere blandly observed that he had merely ordered his men to "give him a beating," because "that fool kept threatening us." Amin's threatening days may be ending...
