...fast growing familiar with man's race beyond the confines of his own world, Early Bird reached back toward the earth and seemed to shrink it almost to room size. All by itself, the satellite blanketed more than one-third of the globe ... In Europe and the U.S., television's showmen labored to exploit Early Bird's versatility. At their best, the programs were as moving and immediate as Houston's great surgeon Michael DeBakey repairing a human heart while fascinated doctors in Geneva looked over his shoulder.

Then Harvard moved on to face Brown: the same team that was the third seed in the ECAC, had all-world goalie Yann Danis and who allowed just one goal to the Crimson in the teams’ two meetings this season. But Harvard made Danis and the rest of the Bears look like they didn’t belong in the same rink. The Crimson notched seven goals in two games—eight if you count Tim Pettit’s tally that the refs missed—and outplayed Brown in every facet of the game...
