...Freshman Mike Watson's hat-trick and senior Randy Millen's two goals spearheaded the icemen's most potent offensive showing of the year. Perhaps the most pleasant aspect of the win, though, was the rejuvenated Harvard power play, which notched four man-up tallies in six attempts against the Irish...

On the tape, a voice identified by the D.A. as Dederich's exhorted, "Our religious posture is don't mess with us. You can get killed, dead, physically dead . . . We're not going to permit people like greedy lawyers to destroy us. I'm quite willing to break some lawyers' legs and tell them that next time I'll break your wife's legs...
