Injuries and frustration told the story for the next nine games. At one point, nine players were sidelined and Tomassoni was left scraping for healthy bodies to put on the ice. At times it seemed like any Harvard opponent was as conquerable as the Death Star was for the rebel forces in "Star Wars...
Last month Grachev was summoned before the Communist-dominated State Duma (the lower house of the Russian parliament). The Duma wanted an explanation for the slaughter of up to 93 Russian soldiers in a rebel ambush in Chechnya.

Satarov won't directly confirm that the killing was timed to aid Yeltsin's campaign, but he gleefully acknowledges that "it wins votes for us." He also admits the Yeltsin campaign high command "discussed all this in advance" and knew when the killing would be attempted. He does, however, lament that "we haven't turned Dudayev's death...
