...could be the dark horse this year. Second-year coach Joe Marsh loses only five lettermen from last year's 16-15 squad and has a legitimate Hobey Baker candidate in Hank Lamens, a 6-ft. 2-in., 210 lb. defenseman with the ability to dominate a game. Scoring punch will be provided by forward Pete Lappin (42), supported by his brother Tim (38) and Captain Dave Saunders (33). St. Lawrence also features a proven, experienced goaltender in Scott Yearwood, an asset neither Harvard nor Cornell...

To that end, he proposed a quick presummit meeting in either Britain or Iceland. Reagan, like Gorbachev a believer in personal diplomacy, was intrigued. But though Shultz, Poindexter and Regan all counseled acceptance, the President decided to sleep on it. By next morning Reagan had made up his mind. He instructed Shultz, who was to meet Shevardnadze later...
