...difficult. The Lord Jeffs are extremely strong at the top of the ladder. Amherst swept the top four matches against Navy, including a win at number one by southpaw Mike Pelletier over Navy's Bob Custer, who is considered the second best collegiate squash player behind Penn's Palmer Page...

...another ominous move two years ago. Harvard Trust began to sprout penthouses and offices. Some sprouted on top of the bank's Harvard Square office and some were slipped into the less narrow reaches of Palmer Street. The Coop, meanwhile, was having babies all over the Boston area- little Coops appeared at M.I.T. the Business School and the Medical School...
