To get serious for a moment, the loss to Yale last week may have been a good thing for Old Nassau. They're on a preferable emotional plane now, if on a lower indifference curve.

During a refueling stop, the twin-jet Caravelle's port engine failed, and the hijackers ordered the six-man crew aboard another plane. Once in the air again, Captain Medina decided he had had enough. Catching the hijackers off guard, he and his copilot wrestled the pistol away from them and locked them in the toilets.
