Aluminum pie tins, racks of chocolate chip cookies and sheet pans of cornbread indicate that the bakery produces much more than breakfast for early-riser undergraduates. Lunch items, such as bar cookies, and dinner items, such as cheesecakes, are also prepared there...

So fast, in fact, that astronomers are betting on 1990 or perhaps even later this year, instead of 1991, as the beginning of the maximum. And what a maximum it could be.

The host Crimson (5-6 overall, 1-3 Ivy) dropped two games, 7-2, 7-1, to the visitors from Boston College (12-3). Harvard has now lost five of its last six games...

What termites and neglect have put asunder eventually requires a crew of 100 to set to rights. And what happens to all of them when Anna innocently plugs a kitchen appliance into the workers' heavy- equipment circuit one sunny morning both defies description...
