Harvard rallies back to close within a touchdown, 28-21. But the Engineers are too tough and capture a 50-28 victory. Lehigh finishes the day with 671 yards of total offense. It marks the first time the Crimson has given up 40-plus points in consecutive games...
...Jose. The night that El Salvador's Alfredo Cristiani criticized Ortega publicly, Bush looked down the table to his right at the tilted chin, the solemn profile of the Nicaraguan President. "He just stared off into the distant horizon," Bush recalled. "There was in the room a sense of total outrage at what Ortega had done...
...their stockpile where they hoped no one would want to look: inside 10-gal. drums of sodium hydroxide, a caustic powder. When narcotics agents discovered the cache last Friday night in a warehouse in Queens, N.Y., they had to call in hazardous-waste specialists to handle the material.

What made the disappearance especially alarming was that the quantity of tritium involved was sufficient, when combined with other ingredients, to build a small nuclear weapon. The U.S. Department of Energy, sensitive to the dangers of nuclear proliferation, last July halted U.S. sales of the gas and moved quickly to explain the losses and assure the public that the missing tritium...
