...Crimson did not have as much trouble against Cornell in January, controlling a 75-69 victory from beginning to end. The hot shooting of guard Matt McClain, who finished with 17 points, and relentless defense inside on Rich Medina, Bernard Jackson and Robbie Hill were the keys in that victory. Harvard's 44-36 rebounding advantage was the first of many good rebounding nights for the Crimson in 1991, a missing factor during Harvard's 2-9 stretch...
Outside, the rain is beating a relentless riff that is familiar to anyone who has lived through a monsoon in Southeast Asia. Inside the Army-issue tent in a clearing at the jungle's edge, Nash A. Miller, a onetime helicopter door gunner and crew chief, is changing into a dry pair of camouflage fatigues.

If it did retaliate, could the U.S. hold the anti-Iraq coalition together, or might some of its Arab members bolt? How much longer would Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, despite days of relentless aerial battering, remain capable of unleashing his long-dreaded chemical and bacteriological weapons? How soon might the U.S. start the ground attack that is still thought necessary to push Saddam's armies out of Kuwait, and how bloody will that eventual land war prove...
