...Saddest of all, there was virtually no coordination between the invaders on the beach and the thousands of underground fighters presumed to exist inside Cuba. And for that, the Revolutionary Council blames the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency and the Pentagon.

But Tino suffered a pre-season knee injury and will not play at all this year, and in the first quarter of the Big Red's opener against Colgate, McKelvey broke an ankle. He too is out for the season. As for Harvard, Charlie Ravenel, the man who has made the Crimson move for the past three years, sprained his right knee against UMass last...
