Although the San Rafael incident failed to free George Jackson and the other Soledad Brothers, it did rivet national attention on their case and on George Jackson as a man. Through this attention Jackson's reputation among prisoners spread through the joints across the country...
...Elis have a decent first line in Brian Bird, Greg Rivet, and Greg Luck, but little else. Yale goalie Bill Fitzsimmons was forced to contend with 55 shots in last December's 6-2 loss to the Crimson n Madison Square Garden, and Harvard wasn't even playing very well. Fitzsimmons is Yale's only hope of keeping the score respectable and avoiding a repetition of last year's 9-0 rout in Boston Garden...
...stage is almost bare. A few props rivet the playgoer's eye: an ancient desk piled high with books and yesterday's newspapers, a sawhorse with a Western saddle draped over it, a picture of a turn-of-the-century cowboy.

He pulls out a bandana and ties it around his neck. He gives his forelock a forward tug. Bowed of leg, lariat...
...NASA officials already think that the blast was probably the result of a defect in one of the two double-walled oxygen tanks. Under the extremes of pressure (920 lbs. per sq. in.) and temperature (-297° F.) inside the tanks, they say, a fragment of metal-perhaps a rivet or a piece from an internal cooling fan-could have flaked off.

Rivet, the toast of the freshman team that shocked Harvard last March, has tallied only 11 points this year. The offense is simply not there. And the defense, which has become increasingly ragged as the season has progressed, has betrayed goaltender John Cole's ability. His goal-per-game average is over five...
