...under overcast skies yesterday, Harvard found itself in a surprisingly close contest at halftime. The laxwomen opened the game with a quick goal in the first minute of play only for Brown to score 43 seconds later. Then Harvard scored twice more, but again the Bruins found the net just 20 seconds later. The see-saw battle saw the half end with Harvard holding a precarious 6-5 lead...
...constant air bombardment is probably the major cause of casualties. It also shapes practically every aspect of life behind E.P.L.F. lines.

There was frightened talk that Danger Signal...

At the beginning of the meeting, he had seemed fit and younger than his years, but at the end he looked aged and tired, and wiped his brow with his bare hand in apparent fatigue and relief. Perhaps he was glad that nothing worse had been said about Poland. He may also have realized that when he and I met again, the subject in all its danger for the world and shame for the Soviet Union would...
