...even three weeks into the season. Last year's eventual number one--Greg Gizzi--didn't even play (let alone start) until the fifth game of the season. Don Allard set the Harvard single-season total offense record in 1982, but it was Ron Cuccia who got the nod on opening day. So whether junior Brian White or senior Dennis Vecchi lines up behind the center on the first offensive play of the year, rest assured that things can change.

Pacillo fanned a phenomenal 45 batters in just 28 1/3 innings this season...

Just after 10 p.m., an exhausted group of negotiators were munching on pastrami sandwiches at the Treasury Building in Washington when word came that IMF Managing Director Jacques de Larosière reported "satisfactory progress" in talks with the Argentines...
