...Crimson (23-1, 20-1-1 ECAC) took both ends of a New York state road trip, burying Cornell 4-2 in Ithaca, N.Y. after surrendering two late goals, then trouncing St. Lawrence yesterday in Canton, N.Y. by a 10-2 margin...
...been up so late--thinking and writing, thinking and writing, the long version, the short version--that he slept through his 8 a.m. wake-up call and was still scribbling as the votes tolled, guilty, not guilty.

The root of the trouble lies in the intuition that at bottom he is incapable of thinking about anyone...
Indeed, last week was full of flying ferment. At American Airlines, pilots and management resumed their long-running hatefest, with the former staging a sick-out that stranded hundreds of thousands of passengers. In Washington, complaints about airline service--crowding, high prices, late flights--are stacking up so fast that Democratic Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon and Republican Senator John McCain of Arizona introduced legislation for a passenger bill of rights...
