Beerbohm's shot bounced off the back of the rim and fell off to the low post on the left side, where sophomore forward Tim Coleman snatched the rebound. With no timeouts remaining, Coleman turned and whipped an outlet pass to senior point guard Tim Hill near the half-court line...
...their sweet music going throughout the night. However, the brobdignadgian(!) scale of the operation deserves some respect from the most avid Dig-hater. Aside from the occasional 17th century bowling ball, most of what gets dug up is--that's right--dirt, enough to fill Foxboro Stadium to the rim 13 times.

Sarah Seidman, 17, arrives home from school bearing a deep-blue bowl intricately glazed with a silhouetted tree, its branches looping over the rim and into the bowl's basin.

A proud world beater that builds mining equipment and huge machines that produce 70% of the world's printing paper, Harnischfeger has just seen its sales to Singapore and other troubled Pacific Rim countries drop from $600 million a year to nearly zero. Its stock, riding high at $44 a year ago, was beaten down to $16 in last week's market rout, gutting the 401(k) retirement plans of many of its employees. "What I have in Harnischfeger stock is down by two-thirds," says...
