Leaders of the Pack: With a goal apiece on Sunday, senior forwards Derek Mills and Nick D'Onofrio moved into a tie for first in the Crimson scoring race. Mills, who assisted D'Onofrio's goal and scored a penalty kick against Hartford Wednesday, picked up five points on the week to bring his season scoring total to seven...
During his eight-day odyssey through the land of the free, he lurched from speech to speech more like a back-of-the-pack presidential contender than an aspirant to the mantle of Lenin. But if jet lag, fatigue and generous helpings of Jack Daniel's occasionally took their toll, Boris Yeltsin, 58, the former Moscow party boss who has achieved unusual visibility and enormous popularity as one of Mikhail Gorbachev's most acerbic critics, still impressed Americans with his charm and appreciation of the U.S. His knack for an ingratiating riposte was apparent at John and Vicki Hardin...
...this it required the services of some 3,000 merchant ships, and in this summer of 1940, Admiral Karl Donitz's submarine fleet not only acquired access to the Atlantic at the captured French naval base in Lorient but also started a lethal new tactic known as wolf packs.

On the night of Sept. 21, for example, a wolf pack attacked a convoy of 41 ships and sank twelve; the following month, in two successive nights, wolf packs torpedoed...

Since its introduction last year, the gross-out confection has grossed $2 million in sales (cost: 40 cents a pack). "It's the most successful introduction we've ever had," says John Sullivan of Confex, in Shrewsbury, N.J., which distributes Boogers. "It's quite a good candy," he unapologetically insists...
...mortars lob shells -- mostly inaccurately -- over the ridges. Infantry assaults are rare, mainly because it is so hard for men to move, let alone charge, at such heights and over crevasse-riddled glaciers. At 18,000 ft. and higher, even a fully acclimatized soldier carrying rifle and combat pack can jog only a few yards without losing his breath. "The terrain does not allow much movement," says a Pakistani officer at an outpost on the Baltoro Glacier. "There is a natural limit to this conflict...
