...they seemed to have a policy of infinite expansion into competitors' territories, now they view wholesale expansion as too dangerous. The last carrier to seriously invade another's main hub was a Continental operation called Continental Lite, which attempted to win market share in major Eastern markets. Continental Lite sank in 1995, losing $300 million. Since then the hub-and-spoke carriers have retreated to their fortresses while beefing up their commuter-feeder operations. Northwest dropped Washington's National Airport to concentrate on Detroit and Minneapolis, where it had 78% and 84% of the market respectively by late last year...
...banging on the door is upstart Cornell, only a half game behind after slipping by Princeton 58-57 last Friday, then edging Pennsylvania, 69-66 on Saturday. Cornell (5-1, 10-7) was led by the clutch play of junior Kim Ruck, who sank two free throws with seven seconds left to steal the win from Princeton, then added a career-best 30 points against Pennsylvania.

And had lost him not to a plot turn but to a bullet. Still, the whole thing didn't quite compute for me. Gunfire was never a part of The Cosby Show. Roadside homicide didn't figure in. According to the same dramatic logic that ruled out rape on Gilligan's Island and domestic violence among the Brady Bunch, murder on Cosby just wasn't possible...
Tied 37-37 at halftime, Harvard and Dartmouth traded baskets for the first 10 minutes of the second half. With the game still knotted at 50-50, senior co-captain Jessica Gelman (14 points, 9 assists) hit Janowski with a pass underneath the basket in transition. Janowski sank the lay-up, drew a foul, and made the free-throw to convert the three-point play...
