Faught opened the scoring for the Crimson with a pretty dodge and shot after eight minutes of a fairly lackluster first period had elapsed. Although Harvard's talented defense completely shut down the somewhat disorganized Ephmen attack and the Crimson monopolized the ground ball market, the team had taken no less than 19 fruitless shots before Faught finally broke...
...plot is typical Gilbert and Sullivan--complex, nonsensical, and irrelevant. The princess of the title flees her palace to avoid marrying a prince pre-chosen for her. She establishes a school for young ladies, dedicated to the disliking of men. The school is literally shut away from male society by a wall that encloses the grounds.

At present, this responsibility is borne largely by utility-company employees, who, with the best will in the world, cannot avoid thinking about the costs to the company. In addition, computers at all U.S. nuclear plants should be wired in to a central NRC monitoring station...
