The rest of the half remained neck and neck. When one team would score, the other would answer almost immediately. The Crimson reached halftime of the close contest trailing 7-6. “I thought in the first half we did a good job controlling the tempo,” Bobzin said. “We played with them. They scored, we scored...

Such injuries can sometimes be life-threatening: last summer, Wang Yan, a Chinese Olympic gymnast who was competing at her national championships, fell head-first from the uneven bars and broke her neck; in 1998, another Chinese gymnast, Sang Lan, then 16 and competing at the Goodwill Games in New York City, fell while performing a warm-up vault and fractured her spine. Both athletes were paralyzed and are not likely to walk again...

The same could be said of the game as a whole—33-32 in shots, 33-27 in groundballs, and 10-8 in saves...

Beyond the stupendous torso, he gave the impression of thinking out his dialogue before he spoke it; he was a pensive glamour boy. Like fellow postwar stars Kirk Douglas and Burt Lancaster, he'd tense his neck muscles and speak in a sonorous growl that brought authority and menace to his speeches; he could make piety sound robust.
