...other teams that will receive home ice advantage are Boston College (12-5-1) in the number three seed, and Boston University (9-7-1), the defending champion at number four. B.U.'s mediocre-looking record came as a result of four Division I forfeits suffered when Cornell blew the whistle on freshman Dick DeCloe, who, though ineligible under ECAC rules, was playing for B.U. at the start of the season...

Richard Nixon was one of the first to point out something special about the people here--that they are silent. Other...
...Weininger discovered that his patient felt humiliated and had told no one about being deserted. "I told him it was the secret that was killing him, not the loss of his wife." By not informing others, Weininger explained, he was depriving himself of their support. "I planted a seed in his mind and opened it to other possibilities. He thanked me, paid a nickel and walked away...
