...have refrained from taking public sides on this issue because my natural inclination has been to favor voluntary over legislated change. George Washington would have recognized that I might have been naive. In a letter to John Jay in August, 1786, he wrote, "experience has taught us that men will not adopt and carry into execution measures the best calculated for their own good without the intervention of a coervice power". Even today I would prefer that he had substitued "regulation where necessary" for "coervice power...
Undulating across the stage, eight shapely young ballerinas mimicked the sensuous rhythms of a belly dance. Portraying Bedouin tribesmen, a chorus of 150 men sang a lusty hymn to Allah.

For the most part the fielding was clean and brisk and the batting was sharp and timely. Highlands pitched a good cool game, allowing but three men bases on balls and keeping Princeton down to seven scattered hits. His base running in the fifth inning was one of the features of the game. Scannell was a little unsteady at times, muffing two third strikes and letting in a run by a wild throw over Dickinson's head...
