...Sunday's double-header with Bentley and Boston University, the stick women followed the ball a little bit too much a symptom of fatigue. When forwards follow the ball, they collect in the middle and cramp the offense, giving the attackers less room to work with and the defense less space to defend...
...assault was not only brutal and ugly; it was the latest symptom of what seemed to be a spreading and malignant disease. The two gunmen who burst into Paris' most famous Jewish restaurant last week, spraying lunchtime patrons of Jo Goldenberg's with submachine-gun fire before escaping, left more than just six people dead and 22 injured in their wake. The close-knit Parisian Jewish community reacted with rage, fearing that the attack presaged a new wave of anti-Semitic violence in Europe.

Combined Jewish Philanthropies, the Dorot Foundation, and a host of other private and corporate donors did. They answered Carney Gavin's letters because it seemed to them that the Danzig exhibit was of significant historical and cultural interest to the general public...
