Porter tallied twice, but he did it with an illegal stick. The Kirkland junior got nabbed for having an extra-deep pocket at 15:00 of the fourth quarter. Harvard collected just four more penalties in the conetst. The Crimson did not commit any during the first period but had three in the final 15 minutes of the game, including two back-to-back fouls for holding and slashing. Adelphi only converted one of the extra-man opportunities, however. HARVARD, 13-8 at Garden City, NY Adelphi 0 2 3 3 -- 8 Harvard...
...EGYPTIAN GOVERNMENT KNEW IT WAS GOING TO face charges that it is in Uncle Sam's pocket. So it tried to pretend that Mahmud Abohalima asked voluntarily to go back to the U.S. In fact he was arrested by Egyptian security forces in a town near Alexandria and flown back last Wednesday to the U.S., which he had fled shortly after the Feb. 26 World Trade Center bombing.

Night after night, they come to an isolated valley in eastern Bosnia, where authorities stockpile 110-lb. flour sacks and sometimes canisters of cooking oil. One evening last week, 400 people loaded all they could into rucksacks and onto the backs of 60 ponies, and trudged off on the dangerous trek back across the snowy mountains -- the only...
...draw fire from Serbian positions ( along the route. Alija Slivo, 60, who spent five months in Serbian captivity in the town of Foca, was ready for an ambush. "I'll blow myself up before I get caught by the Serbs again," he said, pulling a hand grenade from the pocket of his tattered gray jacket. Sometimes the trek is called off altogether when Bosnian security forces find pressure mines or booby traps on the unmarked trail -- but dozens have died from those they missed...
