...study made by University of Pennsylvania Sociologist Marvin E. Wolfgang of 588 criminal homicides committed in Philadelphia over a four-year period. He concluded that, given "sufficient motivation or provocation," it makes no difference whether a gun is handy?if not, the offender "would use a knife to stab or fists to beat his victim to death." But Wolfgang has since modified that view. As Detroit Police Commissioner Ray Girardin puts it: "When people have guns, they use them. A wife gets mad at her husband, and instead of throwing a dish she grabs the gun and kills him." Agrees...

While B.U. has risen to the top and stayed there, Harvard has been wallowing in mediocrity the past two winters, and there's little reason to expect a reversal of these trends in the near future. The Crimson's last stab at the top, in fact, was an ECAC semifinal date with the Terriers in March of '76. Following an 8-4 B.U. cakewalk, O'Callahan capped the evening with another hat trick of a statement: "Harvard's nice, but B.U.'s great." On that night, and in this sport, there...
