Nagle scored nine goals on the season and 25 for her career to place her fourth on the all-time Harvard goal-scoring list. Her proficiency in finishing was evident when she earned a hat trick in Harvard's 5-1 victory over Cornell, which avenged a 1-0 loss from last season...
McDavitt earned a hat trick in her debut against Vermont, and never let down for the rest of the season. McDavitt, as well as sophomore forward Philomena Gambale who scored seven goals off the bench, were capable of making something out of nothing by beating three or four defenders while breaking towards the net. McDavitt did just that when she assisted on Badawy's game-tying goal against Wake Forest...
...race) and a delegate to this year's Democratic National Convention. There he handed out anti-Bush buttons proclaiming W IS FOR WIENER, and he has a website bearing the same slogan. Yet he insists he had no contact with the Gore campaign. "It's not a dirty trick to tell the truth," he says...
...space since it was refurbished in 1993. The orbiting observatory's nearly 2.5-m (8-ft.) mirror isn't all that powerful, but since it floats above Earth's constantly roiling atmosphere, the Hubble has been unrivaled in the sharpness of its images. No more. Using an ingenious technological trick to eliminate atmospheric blur, most of the new telescopes will soon achieve Hubble-quality focus--and even beat it under the right conditions...
Adaptive-optics systems may sound complicated, but they pale beside another technological trick that will ultimately boost telescopes' power even more. Called interferometry, it achieves the precise focus of a truly huge telescope without actually having the thing built. Instead, light is combined from widely separated telescopes--the two Kecks, say, whose observatory building was designed with a basement-level chamber for that purpose, or two or more of the four VLT telescopes in Chile. The system is dauntingly tricky and complex, but its astonishing precision will let astronomers tease out the details of galactic structures and distant solar systems...
