...most egregious example of the intransigent and inflexible refereeing came in the second set. With the score tied, 6-6, and Harvard serving, Springfield's back row setter hit the ball over the net as he stood inches from the net.

At the December hearing, Harris admitted that he was alone and holding the gun when it went off. Mulder, who has since left the D.A.'s office, discounts the admission. Says he: "Before it's all said and done, he'll recant again." Still, prosecutors have not contested the December recommendation...
