Harvard continued to pound away in the second--on both the players and the net--but Princeton's confidence grew with every puck cleared out of the zone and every retaliatory check.

But the remains always seemed, even to Schliemann, a bit puny for so outsize a legend...
...support. An international team of researchers announced that a new magnetic survey has revealed a 14- ft.-thick clay wall about 1,300 ft. south of Schliemann's dig. His find now appears to be the dwelling site of the city's rulers; the still buried wall probably marks Troy's true boundaries and might be the very wall that Achilles reputedly chased Hector around three times.

Romeo and Juliet? Ditto. Joe in Accounting making a fool of himself around the water cooler over Susan in Sales? Love. Like the , universe, the more we learn about love, the more preposterous and mysterious it is likely...
