From the start, the game was physical, featuring hard hitting and aggressive loose ball play. The well-kept but sleek, regulation sized field, which Dartmouth resodded over the summer (and left untouched until Saturday), enabled the backs to run outside, opening up the action...
...Retired Armonk, N.Y., Businessman Lester Conrad, 68, and Philadelphia Stockbroker Walter Falconer, 60, set out in calm weather five months ago aboard Conrad's sleek 45-ft.

Slight as it is, this is the kind of production that Schoenberg's reputation could use more of. Even the sort of people who only...
