...Harvard it was a sweet victory indeed. The finality of the outcome left no room for doubt about the superior team in the nation. For Stimpson, who for three years played on a second-rate team, Sunday's triumph was the ultimate accomplishment in her squash career.

The Sandinistas have jailed 22 members of the Communist Party and at the same time arrested and imprisoned three prominent businessmen who are members of the country's Superior Council of Private Enterprise. The government accused both the left and the right of criticizing official policy, a practice that is now a serious offense in Nicaragua.
