What happened next typified the darker side of Harvard's almost entirely pleasant afternoon. With eight seconds showing on the clock, Harvard got off one play and was called offsides. In the ensuing confusion, the clock ran out and Cuccia's fake went for naught. Harvard went to the dressing room leading, 12-0, but sorely disappointed. "Time wasn't the factor there," Restic said afterward, "we just didn't get it done...

Thousands of flagpoles along the city boulevards and atop buildings bore the Olympic flag. In the stadiums themselves, the most persistent colors were those of the Finns, who waved their white-and-blue pennants, some on poles that telescoped up to 30 ft. or 40 ft., at the slightest indication...
Situated on the southern shore of beautiful Lake Winnebago, the Wisconsin city of Fond du Lac (pop. 34,400) appears to be a pleasant haven far removed from the poverty and pain of the nation's recession-struck cities. Peopled mainly by second-and third-generation descendants of German immigrants, the city prides itself on being the home of the thrifty, the hard working and the tidy.
