Miami of Ohio club president Terry Jones says that his team's strongest asset is "a really excellent set of backs,"--with an experienced fly half and fullback anchoring the line. At an estimated 185 pounds per man, the Midwestern forwards are likely to be the smallest pack in the competition. Jones added that "the team has been able to make up for the lack of a tall jumper and average set play by hustling and playing in the loose well...
...women who fought in Viet Nam or demonstrated against it. The book smolders with old indignations; yet there are notable flashpoints. From Herbert Woodward Martin's A Negro Soldier's Viet Nam Diary: "Do not celebrate me when and if I come home. I step around the smallest creature these days."

Veteran Harrison Kohler recalls the excitement and intensity of his fighting days...
...some respects, this extraordinary care is fatal to Rafelson. The movie could have been shot through cobwebs, with its muted, overcast tones.

Most reflector telescopes, including the smallest backyard instruments, play a kind of Ping Pong with light entering the open end of the tube, and so does the space telescope. Light strikes the primary mirror, and then is focused and bounced back to a small secondary mirror (12 in. in diameter) directly in front of it. Rebounding off this mirror as well, the captured light will be funneled through a central hole in the principal reflector and onto a bank of scientific instruments: two cameras, two spectrometers (for analyzing light) and a photometer (for measuring its intensity). All the information from...
