...against Boston College Wednesday night, the junior center notched two goals and two assists in the icemen's 9-5 thrashing of Brown last weekend. Playing on a line with freshmen Dave Connors and Derek Malmquist, the scrappy McDonald has blended his experience with their enthusiasm to form a potent combination. The Crimson, still smarting from the tough 6-2 loss to B.C., travels to Princeton, N.J. Saturday to face the Tigers, who currently sit atop the Ivy League with a 3-0-0 record. That contest will be Harvard's last until after exams. The team travels to Maine...
...real estate that cannot be observed visually. State-of-the-art infrared detectors routinely fly aboard high-altitude balloons and reconnaissance aircraft, seeking evidence for heretofore unrecognized warm regions of space. Ultraviolet and x-ray spacecraft, perched in orbit far above Earth's opaque atmosphere, map distant sources of potent radiation emitted by previously unknown exotic astronomical objects; these are not merely passive probes like pioneering satellites that marked the dawn of the Space Age, but whole observatories remotely operated by teams of scientists, much like major ground-based telescopes. And robot spaceprobes navigate through the system of known planets...
...turn Iran into a pure Islamic society. The Ayatullah has never claimed the title of Imam for himself, but he has done nothing to discourage its use by his followers, a fact that annoys some of his peers among the Iranian clergy.

When these two are onstage, the audience is inside the skulls and the sensibilities of Weill and his most potent collaborator, Bertolt Brecht. One immediate impression is that the lyricist always has an enormous impact on the composer. Rodgers and Hart is light-years away from Rodgers and Hammerstein. In like fashion, Pirate Jenny of Brecht's Threepenny Opera dwells in a totally different realm from The Saga of Jenny...
...toms are all but nominating her for an Academy Award for her first screen role, in The Rose. The movie, the story of a doomed '60s rock star, is one of the few commercial hits of the fall season, and enthusiastic word of mouth is proving more potent than any advertising. Meanwhile, for those who can make it to Broadway, the lady's other, outrageously funny side is on view at the Palace Theater in Bette! Divine Madness. It is the hottest ticket in Manhattan...
