With 1.1 seconds remaining in regulation, Harvard trailed B.U., 65-63, and Janowski stepped to the line with a one-and-one opportunity. The senior, who was 1-for-5 until that point in the game, hit both shots to knot the score and send the game into overtime...

"FSCs are transparent companies," says a longtime agent on St. Thomas. "They don't really exist." To comply with the law, companies send their already processed sales invoices, brochures and other export literature in boxes to St. Thomas for mailing. Perhaps 50 islanders, mostly low-salaried clerical help, work in the FSC field...
