...that was as far as Cornell (7-5, 0-2) would get, as Harvard held its opponent to just one field goal and four free throws over the next 8:30 of play. Over the same span, four different Crimson players scored, pushing the lead out to 13. All of Harvard's starters scored in double figures...
...times in the second half, it looked as though Dartmouth might be able to catch up to Harvard. The Big Green's Kenny Mitchell hit two three-pointers within a 1:19 span, cutting the Harvard lead from 11 to seven, but after Grancio hit a jumper neither team scored for almost five minutes. Then, with 48 seconds left, a Mitchell shot cut the lead to six, but Scott and sophomore point guard Tim Hill hit all of their ensuing free throws to ice the game...

Pentagon officials say most of the combat diaries of significant events kept by the U.S. Central Command at General Schwarzkopf's headquarters--classified documents, no less--are missing, including those of the eight-day span during which U.S. troops destroyed the chemical-weapons stockpiles at Kamisiyah.

I'd love to be proved wrong, but "health equals wealth" certainly seems to be the trend in America just now. DARRELL LELAND Albuquerque...
...prospect of living 100 years or even longer is quite exciting [MEDICINE, Nov. 25]. Yet what will mankind do with this extended life-span? Will we use these extra years of life to wage war against both the environment and one another? Or will we use the time to teach, grow, respect the earth and live in peace with our neighbors?
