...watched the second game as an observer. Scott Smith, 25, a young marksman from Cambridge, N.Y., lay doggo behind a fallen tree and picked off five red marauders as they attacked his yellow goal. A very long period of woods noises and bug bites followed. Then, less than 15 min. before the game's 2-hr, limit expired, Smith slipped away into the brush. More woods noises; then with 30 sec. to go, Smith crashed into view with a captured red flag and sagged to the ground, chest heaving. He had knocked off the last remaining red defender...

Whether such a law would be constitutional remains to be seen...
...lunch broke up at about 1:15, Reagan, as planned, summoned Haig into the Oval Office. Immediately, the President handed the Secretary of State his signed acceptance of Haig's resignation-which still had not been formally offered. The two men talked, apparently without heat, for about 20 min. Nothing remained except to break the news...
