Last week Riklis, 45, completed a major step in that direction. In a somewhat serpentine financial maneuver, Riklis last December had Rapid-American Corp., the keystone of his corporate complex, make a friendly tender offer designed to strengthen his holding in Glen Alden Corp.

...Mark scored the first on a classic one-on-one situation. The junior wing took a pass from Gurry, and flew around the U.N.H. defenseman for a clear shot. Mark closed in on Metzer, and, after freezing the goal tender with fakes, flipped a short backhander into...
