...Havilland Canada Twin Otter set down on the ice at the North Pole a few days ago. The ice cracked and the plane began to sink slowly into the slush of the Arctic Ocean. Everyone clambered out onto safer ice: two crewmen and seven tourists...
...from all sections of the Boston Garden, where 14 flags of championship glory fly, a thunderous chant came rolling down onto the court: "BEAT L.A.! BEAT L.A.! BEAT L.A.!"

Harvard's most potent and refined weapon over the last half of the regular season...
