Sophomore netminder Cleon Daskalakis, although currently alternating in the goal with back-up Bob Barich (who had 36 saves to stop potent North-eastern Wednesday), is the nominal starter for the Terriers tonight, based on his 30-save, two-goals-allowed performance against Harvard the last time. Though the posts were kind. Daskalakis thwarted Crimson forwards on numerous opportunities. His save percentage hovers around 90; his goals-against is just over 3.5.

Aldredge must have purchased her swatches from a rainbow merchant to fashion the slinky, sequined gowns, and Tharon Musser...
Historian James Billington in his recent book, Fire in the Minds of Men, has noted that Vladimir Lenin was "a professional revolutionary before he became a Marxist." Lenin embraced Marxism because it was a very potent ideology for the purposes he had in mind. In fact, even as he played fast and loose with the letter of Marxism, Lenin was, in a way, being true to its spirit.
