...bamboo curtain was just lifting on the decade of madness that had seized the People's Republic beginning in the mid-1960s. Cheng was an improbable survivor of Chairman Mao's brutal campaign, a porcelain-boned diplomat's wife who spent the precommunist years swathed in silk.

Having yet to generate any real opportunities on net, the Clarkson attack started to threaten the Crimson goaltender, junior Ryan Carroll. Sixteen minutes into the period, Golden Knight Bryan Rufenach blasted a shot at Carroll, who deflected it with his right pad. Rufenach quickly raced through the Harvard defense to the loose puck and finished the rebound...
