Pope John Paul II lay grievously wounded, and a right-wing Turkish fanatic, Mehmet Ali Agca, 23, barely escaped being torn to pieces by an angry mob for attempting to kill the Pope.

...their frustration by swamping a hapless Columbia squad, 13-5. Hawaiian scoring machine Fasi got Harvard off to a fast start with four tallies in the first period and added a fifth before hanging up his swimsuit for the day. On defense, Reid watched from the sidelines as replacements Mehmet Oz and freshman Brian Graham consistently thwarted the Lions' attach from the goal...
