Harvard's first goal came at 11:37 of the half. A soft Sanacore free kick found its way to Dave Eaton via A Dartmouth head. Eaton gently nodded the ball over the outstretched arms of Krahling who had come out to try and corral the ball...

...accusing the Israelis of genocide, they have stamped practices with labels that simply don't apply. As events take their logical course, and speeches wind their way up to new pitches of frenzy, terms like racism, imperialism, and above all, genocide will cease to have meaning, the crime each describes will seem commonplace, just the latest in a long line of such atrocities...

He unscrupulously altered his give-away Jewish name the same way he adjusted his resume--as it suited his needs. When his creditors threatened to blow his cover, he skipped town, cruising indifferently from Manhattan extravagance--lunching at Club 21 and collecting forged membership cards from places like the New York Racquet Club--to boarding house sleaziness in Atlanta, and at last to a dishonorable...
