With such young attacking talent ready to blossom (include fellow sophomore David Bonita in that picture), scoring goals won't be as much of a problem as will keeping Albers and Carlson relatively unoccupied. "We have to have a tougher defense this year--we simply gave up too many goals last season," Locker says...
...tougher problem will be to keep the Cubans occupied. The camps are bleak, though not squalid: many of the tents, housing 20 people each, have no floors, but contain comfortable cots with clean sheets; they are served by rows of portable toilets and curtainless outdoor showers. The yards, though, are sweltering, dusty and bare, and ringed by concertina wire. Humanitarian organizations and community-relations specialists from the Justice Department intend to set up church services, school classes, recreation programs.

Citizens are increasingly taking up the environmental battle cry of NIMBY -- not in my backyard! -- and rallying to block former convicts from settling in their communities. Local groups are pressing state assemblies for tougher detention laws and parole conditions. When legislators don't respond quickly enough, citizens take it upon themselves to sound the alert. As a direct result, more and more states are enacting laws that put the interests of the community before the rights of ex-prisoners.
