Junior Ramy Rajballie--Hotchkin's mirror at right midfield--has also proven to be a lethal member of the Crimson attack. Rajballie earned second-team All-Ivy honors in the midfield, and is tied with Hotchkin as team assist leader with...
...silhouette: the ghost of Alfred Hitchcock. Dan is the basic Hitchcock protagonist, a fairly decent man in a horribly compromised position. And at first glance, Alex, with her cool allure, seems an avatar of Hitchcock's blond ice goddesses. Only later do we discover she is as lonely and lethal as Mother Bates. But with a difference.

...have a much longer prologue than was once suspected. "What we're saying is that AIDS has been around for a long time but just wasn't recognized," Elvin-Lewis explains.

...mission carried out by the U.S. under the combined sponsorship of NASA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the National Science Foundation and the Chemical Manufacturers Association. The purpose: to find out why the layer of ozone gas in the upper atmosphere, which protects the earth's surface from lethal solar ultraviolet radiation, was badly depleted over Antarctica. The scale of the mission reflected an intensifying push to understand the detailed dynamics of potentially disastrous changes in the climate. The danger of ozone depletion is only part of the problem; scientists are also concerned about the "greenhouse effect," a long...
