Both Edwards and Dales also fell victim to the slow putting conditions. Edwards, traditionally one of the best putters on the squad, drove it well all day but couldn't find the putter handle, while Dales' chances of a sub-80 performance were shattered by no-less-than five three-putters...
...slowly or unevenly at times, but it goes. Yesterday at the Business School Field. New England's number one lacrosse team--Harvard (check Tuesday's Globe if you don't believe me)--beat its opponent into the ground for the seventh time in its latest seven outings. The victim was a surprisingly tough UNH squad, and the score was a misleading 11-6--misleading because it was closer than that...

Kentucky Attorney General Robert Stephens sees no legal or ethical barrier, but former U.S. Attorney General Edward Levi, now a law professor at the University of Chicago, has some doubts. He warns that the judge must be careful to see that the defendant is not getting railroaded...
