...shot would find the iron and the ball would make its way to, say, Scott Greenman, who Harvard coach Frank Sullivan continually refers to as “the Harvard assassin” for the clutch three-pointers he hit in both showdowns last year. Greenman would then nail a ridiculous half-court heave to force overtime...
...Maier. At the worlds, Miller has brightened his stardom in typical falling-off-the-planet fashion. During the super-G--the second fastest race after the downhill--Miller took a jump off-kilter at 65 m.p.h., struggled to stay on his skis and still won the race by a nail-biting margin. In the combined downhill and slalom, he lost a ski--and the race--at the top of the downhill course but amazed the crowd by running the gates on his remaining ski. In the downhill last Saturday, he kept both skis on and won a second gold, beating...
...Erin Burdette knocked off Harvard co-captain No. 45 Susanna Lingman by the score of 6-3, 6-1. The two squads split the remaining matches. No. 123 Celia Durkin eventually succumbed to No. 35 Theresa Logan, 6-7 (4), 7-5, 1-0 (4), in a nail-biter, and Wang stole a win over No. 82 Anne Yelsey in No. 6 singles...

Miller won six of the first 10 races of the season, and he did so in all four disciplines, from the highly technical slalom event to the nail-biting, death-defying downhill. The last time anyone did that was Marc Girardelli, skiing for Luxembourg in 1988. But Girardelli needed 71 days to accomplish the feat. Miller, characteristically, took just 16. "I find my groove pretty quickly," Miller concedes with a shrug. He had just finished...
...doctors pronounced him "the luckiest guy ever," and Patrick Lawler, 23, isn't about to disagree. The construction worker was building a house in Colorado when his nail gun backfired, driving a 4-in. nail through the roof of his mouth and into his skull. Amazingly, Lawler didn't realize anything was amiss until six days later when he went to a dentist with what he thought was a nagging toothache. It took surgeons four hours to extract the nail, which had penetrated his brain. The uninsured Lawler is expected to make a full recovery but now must contend with...
