...story hangs on the testimony of an interested party. But according to Father Gabriele Amorth, exorcist for the Diocese of Rome, the heir to the throne of St. Peter recently spent half an hour struggling--literally--with a demon from hell. Pope John Paul II was conducting his regular Wednesday audience on Sept. 6 when there was reportedly a disturbance in the front row.

...Bulldogs (1-1, 0-1 Ivy) had one last shot at glory when junior quarterback Peter Lee (20-of-35, 325 yards) completed three consecutive passes in the final minute and hit Keith Reams at the Cornell 14 with two seconds left to set up a possible game-winning field goal. However, Mike Murawczyk's 32-yard attempt went wide left, and the Big Red ended up pulling off another surprising upset...
