Although there were reports that the U.S. had warned the British about the invasion ten days before the landing, British officials insist?and their U.S. counterparts agree?that they became convinced of the reality of the impending attack only on March 31, just two days before the assault, when there were no British forces in striking distance to resist. To confuse the issue slightly, Thatcher later admitted obliquely that a British submarine was "about" in the waters, but it could hardly have prevented the invasion...
...surprised and upset at the lack of backing they received at the United Nations Security Council immediately after their invasion, where they were condemned as aggressors. The situation would seem less clear-cut to other Latin American countries if the British started shooting in the South Atlantic. At least ten countries, including Brazil, Mexico and Venezuela, have expressed sympathy with Argentina's claim to the Falklands, even while most deplored their" neighbor's methods. British military action might make them close ranks with Argentina, although the other Latin nations are unlikely to join in any conflict...
Meanwhile, Britain too was looking for support from its allies, and finding it. At the urging of the Thatcher government, all ten members of the European Community announced an embargo against Argentina on arms and military spare parts. The Europeans also decided to impose a ban on all imports from Argentina (amounting to about $1.76 billion per year) effective this week.

Taylor’s score, another tying shot with five minutes remaining, came off a midair deflection of a shot from sophomore Alex Biega from the blue line...
...record his fourth goal in two days.The Bobcats’ did get on the board soon after, as an interference call on Christian led to a 4-on-3 at 8:45. Quinnipiac’s Ben Nelson put his 11th goal of the season past Richter ten seconds later, but the game remained well in hand.Perhaps the only disappointment of the game came with six seconds remaining, with Harvard on its final power play. Michaud again received the puck on the right and had an excellent look to deliver a hat-trick, but Fisher reacted more quickly this time...
