...Terriers, now 0-9, are having an even rougher campaign. B.U. has a rich women's hockey tradition but was thrown into the gutter overnight when it lost to graduation five of its six forwards, all four defensemen and its goalie last year. B.U. doesn't even have a coach now, although Captain Betsy Garthway has been interviewing candidates and experts to have the post filled by the tournament. Lori Daigle leads the Terriers in scoring; she has two goals...

Although no major offshore-well blowouts have occurred in U.S. waters since the Santa Barbara accident, and the technology for plugging an out-of-control well has vastly improved, environmentalists are worried that chronic, low-level oil pollution could be devastating to such rich fishing grounds as the Georges Bank off New England. They also fear that drill rigs off Alaska, a site of suspected major reserves, could be wrecked by errant ice floes, spreading crude oil over the fragile Arctic terrain...
