Super forward Lee Nelson is paying the price for his 12-goal performance last year. Wesleyan fullback Alvin Peters marked Nelson man-to-man through all of yesterday's game--the third time in three games Lee has received special attention... Injuries continue to plague the team.

Government "testing" of imported autos has also been a sore point for U.S. and European carmakers, mainly because Japanese standards are often set capriciously.
