...male-female ratio problem exists at Dartmouth [March 12], that's for sure, and most fraternity boys and sorority girls, myself included, like to go wild on the big Winter Carnival weekend, but you made it sound as though every male on campus is out to "score" and every Dartmouth female is obese, boring and uglier than sin. Not so. Dartmouth College has a lot more to offer than drunk men and homely women...
...them pit Wellston's 44 miles of streets. When former Police Chief Max Downard burst a tire in a particularly jagged chasm, he jokingly proposed to Mayor Harold Souders that the town sell its potholes to help raise the $70,000 needed to repair last winter's wear and tear.

October has given way to spring, the quirky confines of Fenway Park to the symmetry of a Florida practice field ringed with orange trees. "All winter long, I kept seeing Bucky Dent," the Boston Red Sox manager says. He squints once, hard, and the memory rolls in again: Dent, the ninth man in the New York Yankee lineup lofting a fly ball over the towering left field wall in Fenway, crushing Boston's pennant hopes in a one-game, winner-take-all playoff...
