...ignorant hopeful pre-freshman was I. Although raised beyond the pale of college hockey. I learned all about the ECAC, the Beanpot, and Harvard vs. B.U. from PBS broadcasts in the mid-'70s (sadly discontinued). Rereading old accounts of Dave Connors's sudden-death heroics confirmed that the game was, indeed, a Big Deal...
...Japanese: "Japanese-American friendship is forever." Communist depu ties boycotted the session, but their empty seats only underscored the impotence of the left in present-day Japan. A fist-shaking demonstration by more than 1,000 protesters near Haneda Airport as the Reagans were about to arrive was a pale shadow of the mass snake-dancing "demos" the Japanese left used to stage in the 1960s and early '70s; this time, the marching leftists could not even distract nearby golfers and baseball players...

...meteoric rise. Spurred on by a father who died when she was twelve, the aggressive Pennsylvania golden girl with the pale blue eyes seemed unstoppable. One of her Ithaca College journalism professors told her, "There's no place for broads in broadcasting." So she worked her way up from radio disc jockey and newsreader to TV reporter and local anchor in Houston and Philadelphia; she put in 16-hour days to eliminate any chance that newsroom chauvinists could tag her as an electronic bunny...
