Therefore, in a crisis situation, you could be tempted to destroy your enemy's small number of missiles. If your enemy knows this, he'll be tempted to shoot first.

Harvard Coach Carole Kleinfelder says her underdog squad will need to take as many shots as possible against the defensive-minded UMass team and goalie Rita Hubner, widely considered the finest in the nation...
