...Hamm helped hammer Denmark in a 3-0 win, opening the scoring with a terrific strike in the 17th minute. That was expected. What nobody expected, at least initially, was a crowd of 79,000 cheering fans. There were painted faces and flags and banners, and an entire section of fans wearing Kristine Lilly shirts. It looked as if someone had gone to suburban malls and parks and hijacked shoppers and picnickers to the stadium. The players were stunned, and after the game Hamm noted that the usually voluble Foudy was speechless. "That doesn't happen too often," Hamm said...
Brigid began working at TIME in 1968 as secretary to managing editor Henry Grunwald, and soon became a reporter-researcher in the World section. As the section's head researcher for 10 years, she wisely helped guide our coverage of summits, foreign elections, countless Middle East crises and (almost countless) changes in the Kremlin...
...findings show how important it is for researchers to look at the whole population and not just patients in university hospitals, where the worst cases are usually referred.

They also found the condition to be equally uncommon among women...

Says rink general manager Fred...
...unfamiliar section of the tour script, by Harvard standards, was the social scene speech: Greek life engaged "only" one third of the campus, we were informed, "so you can see that it doesn't control it." This seemed a particularly strange part of the shpiel, though the high-school students seemed to absorb it with no noticeable resistance. As a Harvard student I am by no means an expert on fraternity and sorority life, but if you could get a third of the Harvard students to do anything it would cause significant ripples. The closest examples would...
