...clearing the hole. At 6-ft., 5-in., 270 lbs., Caron represents a mammoth obstacle for opposing defenses. The Norwell, Mass. native beach presses more than 400 pounds. A first-team All-Ivy and Honorable Mention Division I-AA All-America, he has a great shot at the pros. The left side of the ball is a different story. Junior George Kostakos leads the race for the starting slot. Three inches shorter and 50 pounds lighter than Caron, Kostakos played in just three games last year.

It was intended to ensure that those who participated in this festival of running and jumping were the sons and daughters of gentlefolk. Other Olympic ideals...
...implications of the decision for the criminal justice system loom large indeed. Not only is there no proof that a more narrow application of the exclusionary rule will yield more valid prosecutions, but such cost-benefits, analysis focuses excessively on the short-term pros and cons of laws--rather than the long-range impact of such a major change in this country's governing document...
