...game-tying hit was the culmination of an extremely solid opener for Larocque, who was 2-for-5 with four RBI and two runs scored. The junior--who wasn't a regular at designated hitter until the Crimson's spring training trip--upped his batting average to .282 and finished the weekend with 16 RBI, good for third on the team...

...between the pipes, the only question mark is health. Junior goaltender Crystal Springer had a solid year with a 1.61 GAA, but only when she was not nursing a collarbone that she broke twice this year. Fortunately for the Crimson. rookie Alison Kuusisto went 10-0 in games for which Springer was unavailable, including the national championship. With its top two netminders back, Harvard will be an experienced team ready for big games against nationally ranked opponents next year...
...addition, Saddam has solid economic and political incentives to keep things calm while the U.S. and its allies are otherwise occupied. "There is a considerable amount of secret traffic going on through bordering Turkey and Jordan exchanging oil for food," says Dowell, "and the U.N. is looking the other way." Maintaining the current stalemate allows Saddam to survive quite nicely as a result of that trade, while at the same time he keeps considerable U.S. resources pinned down in his region. Why bother to upset the balance...
...Bell Labs, Shockley recognized early on that the solution to one of the technological nightmares of the day--the cost and unreliability of the vacuum tubes used as valves to control the flow of electrons in radios and telephone-relay systems--lay in solid-state physics. Vacuum tubes were hot, bulky, fragile and short-lived. Crystals, particularly crystals that can conduct a bit of electricity, could do the job faster, more reliably and with 1 million times less power--if only someone could get them to function as electronic valves. Shockley and his team figured out how to accomplish this...
