...When we watch the typical war-coverage episode, we see, as Arlen says, "a picture of men three inches tall shooting at other men three inches tall."

Sophomore Julio Piazza. perhaps the top freshman cross-country runner in the East last year. is the man to beat this afternoon. Sophomore Mike Koerner, the Crimson's undefeated top man. must be the one to do it.
