...Shmen of the Week: Freshman Ralph James, Harvard's leading scorer (14.0 points per game) and rebounder (5.6 rebounds per game), was named Ivy Rookie of the Week for his recent efforts. The 6-ft., 4-in. freshman from West Hempstead, N.Y., fired in eight consecutive points as the Crimson whittled the Big Green's lead from 13 to only two with less than two minutes to play. James, who has led the Crimson in scoring on seven occasions, is the first Crimson cager to cop the award since Neil Phillips did during the 1985-'86 season...

Sweet had ruled that the upper-crust marketplace already belonged to an older Passion ($270), which the French firm Annick Goutal has marketed in the U.S. since...

When the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries failed last week to reach a meaningful pact to curb production, the price of oil futures plunged from $18 per bbl. to $15.58. If prices collapse, at least Pennzoil and Texaco can start putting their resources into the businesses again instead of into the pockets of their lawyers...
