Juniors Melinda Nelson and Sandra Springer will add height and bulk up front just in case the Crimson's smallish lineup is physically outplayed by an opponent. Both can contribute offensively and on the boards if they can develop a more intimidating style of play...
...ugliest story of the 22nd Olympics began in a bathroom in the basement of Seoul's track-and-field stadium. There, on Sept. 24, a smallish man with a fabulously muscled body and rage-filled eyes had to perform the indignity of champions. A master of explosive, almost inexplicable starts, he had already propelled his body down the 100-meter track faster than anyone before. Now his legs had ceased churning, he had relinquished the flag of his adopted Canada, which he had waved around the stadium, and the applause for the seemingly guileless sprinter who had dethroned...
...smallish fellow, by the name of Charlie, stole the show when he used his forehead to cruch an unopened can of beer. He stood the can on its end and smashed his head squarely on its top. As the metal sides of the container burst, beer flew all over the room. Life in the fraternity basement, despite its lack of class, had a certain primitive charm.

Defaults on tax-exempt municipal bonds like those issued on Whoops have been relatively infrequent and have usually involved smallish sums. Only 685 defaults have occurred since 1940, out of 301,016 municipal bond issues. In terms of money lost, each of the three largest were around one-twentieth the size of last week's fizzle. The West Virginia Turnpike Commission defaulted on $133 million in bonds in 1958. Chicago's Calumet Skyway collapsed under bond indebtedness of $101 million in 1963, and investors were short-changed in 1978 when the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and Tunnel Commission reneged...
