...Valentine's Day game was appropriately scheduled as Cornell was Harvard's opponent in the 1969 movie, "Love Story," with Ryan O'Neal and Ali McGraw. Current athletic director Bill Cleary '54-'56, then the Harvard freshman coach, stood in for O'Neal in skating scenes...

The recent trade of Cedric Ceballos to Phoenix for Robert Horry underscored West's place as the NBA's top executive...
...restaurant one night, as he chats over dinner with his attorney, Stephen Neal, the legal Houdini behind his release, Keating confronts naked hostility: a complete stranger, recognizing his craggy features like a ghost from an old "wanted" poster, drops by his table to hurl an unprovoked insult.
