Despite the cold weather, there was some fiery action down at Blodgett Pool this weekend. The event was the Harvard Invitational and the swimmers from perennial powers Georgia and Kansas were...
...Bills' ground-hugging offense has been anchored since 1986 by Jim Kelly, a rugged quarterback who thrives on bad weather and tough downs. First drafted by the Bills in 1983, Kelly signed with the U.S.F.L.'s Houston Gamblers. He has become an effective field general who oversees the hard-charging attacks of running backs Thurman Thomas and Robb Riddick.

When the word floated out that the Notre...

If the recipes are brilliantly explicit, it is because Beranbaum has spent years teaching, and knows where amateurs usually go wrong. Basic cakes and fillings are included, along with how-to's on decoration. Among her creations are cakes that look like pinecones, forests and dotted Swiss cascades. There are even a few low- cholesterol recipes...
