This is why those of us who worked closely with Nixon developed a grudging respect and something akin to tender protectiveness for him. His aberrations grew out of a desperate conflict of discordant elements; thus he was in truth the first victim of his own unharmonious nature. We saw a Nixon who could be gentle and thoughtful; some of his most devious methods were mechanisms to avoid hurting people face to face. With all his tough-guy pretensions, he really wanted to be remembered for his idealism. He spoke often of his mother and her gentleness; he missed her dreadfully...
Cornell played with unusual disadvantage, as its only goal-tender, Sarah Mott, was injured in a first-round game Friday, and the Big Red put the team manager, Diane Gregoire, in the nets.

Owners will shell out $1.4 billion for 1 million tons of cat food that carry such whisker-licking names as Meow Mix and Tender Vittles. These processed delights consist largely of soybean, corn and wheat. One hundred eighty-nine million dollars' worth of cat-box filler will inevitably follow. Revenues to veterinarians, animal psychologists, pet shops and grooming parlors will add even more millions. All of this must be added to the initial...
