...lead against Boston College last Wednesday night disappeared in the final four minutes of the game, as early-season defensive lapses returned to haunt Harvard. The teams battled through a scoreless ten minute sudden death period. The dead-lock did little to improve the Crimson's lowly perch of 15th (out of 17) in the ECAC standings...
...Wecht and other skeptics, that was an impossibility. Oswald's alleged perch gave him a line of fire toward Kennedy of slightly left to right. Connally was seated in front of Kennedy.

Leftists refused to budge from their commanding perch in the nearby 30-story, unfinished Murr Tower. Public cynicism about the cease-fire deepened when Karami's attempt to collect heavy weapons from both sides produced nothing. Kidnaping continued, and snipers killed ten on the third day of the truce...
