Perhaps not, but when the Crimson needed help, Roy, the nation's goals-against leader last season, held the line en route to his career-high save total. After Roy's performance, his status in the Crimson's goaltending rotation--which was shaken by a Mike Francis start last Saturday--has been reaffirmed in Cleary's eyes...
Some museums, however, have continued to make remarkable purchases. The Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth, under the direction of Edmund Pillsbury, is a leader here (as New Yorkers can currently see from a loan show of its holdings at the Frick Collection). At least one museum, the Getty in Malibu, Calif., with its $3.5 billion endowment and almost limitless spending power, seems unaffected by the rise in price.

Government forces then supposedly started shooting, and both Wijeweera and his would-be assassin died in the fire fight. The third J.V.P. leader was shot in a separate incident. Skeptics suspected that the security forces simply murdered the rebel leaders, who had led a two-year terror campaign against the government's decision to admit Indian military forces...
