...strongest aspects of the Crimson this year will be Co-Captain and goalie Denise Katsias, who played every minute for Harvard last year. Katsias recorded four shutouts last year and allowed 1.48 goals per game. She was at her best in the Ivy League games, allowing only 1.11 goals per game...
...problem for both Dukakis and Bush is that campaigning in California, home of some of the nation's most expensive media markets, is extremely costly.

The government is now considering police requests for "discretionary testing" and is debating stiffer penalties...
...anomaly in Europe is West Germany, whose freeways have no speed limits. Partly because of laws requiring seat-belt use in front and back, and because of mandatory driving-school instruction, the fatality rate is remarkably low: 2.4 per 10,000 vehicles last year, the best result since...
