...have been to knock off the best Yale team in recent memory Tim Taylor's swift, physical squad is led by machine-gunners Mark Crerar (19 goals, 20 assists for 39 points), Dan Poliziani (19-15-34) and Eli career assist record-holder Bob Brooke (8-23-31). A spark has come from sophomore goalie Paul Tortella, who has filled the gap created by the graduated Mark Rodrigues with impressive stats--a 3.70 GAA, 90 percent ECAC save average and a 9-5 overall record--and clutch play.

It will ultimately consume one of them. At the end, there is no convenient awakening from a dream, as in Alice's adventures, no consolation...
...longtime intimate of Reagan, Smith has excellent access to the Oval Office. But some White House officials claim that he is plodding, lacking spark and less than innovative in law enforcement. Yet his frequent get-tough-on-crime speeches have been hampered by the Administration's unwillingness to back his proposals with funds.
