Unfortunately, the raquetwomen won't have a chance to replay that fateful game which ended the Crimson's 16-match winning streak. The Tigers won, 6-3, in an intense, competitive contest. The Tiger's number-one player, Demer Holleran, sister of Harvard's Jenny Holleran, had no sisterly compassion. She blanked number-one seed Jenny in three quick games...
...deficit. Said a philosophical Dukakis: "There comes a time when you have to let go." His withdrawal fueled speculation that Dukakis wants to avenge his stinging loss to George Bush last November by mounting another, probably unwelcome, presidential bid in 1992.

Technology can make everything seem too technical: slow motion slows emotions until they seem unreal; instant replays replay the instant again and again until it means less and less, like Warhol's soup cans. Carl Lewis in flight, Jackie Joyner-Kersee in extremis are things of beauty: taken apart on the picture tube, they lose all contact with the natural...
