...demonstrated his skill with political symbolism at home, the President seemed to be trying his hand at the same game overseas. Apart from a possible upward blip in the popularity polls, however, he left home anticipating no heavy returns from this trip or the one in March. Said a senior U.S. official of the communiqués that were being drafted for each stop: "They will be remembered for less time than it takes to write them...
...Friday, he plans a brief visit to Belgium to demonstrate U.S. support of NATO and the European Community, both headquartered in Brussels.

Harvard played the first five minutes of the third period as if they were opposing fragile senior citizens. Their finess was no where to be seen. Clarkson dominated the ice, mounting all sorts of offensive pressure. Finally, the Upstate New Yorkers broke down the Crimson defense at 5:48 and tacked on an insurance tally at 5:48. A slap shot bounced off the back boards onto Laughlin's stick, and when Clarkson's junior winger had his second goal of the night, Harvard was all washed...
