After the second period third year Bear coach Margaret Degidio-Murphy told her players to take a look at all of the Ivy banners hanging from the rafters at Bright. She told them if they wanted it more than Harvard they could win this game...
...candidates' side. TIME's chief of correspondents John Stacks knows such coverage requires special qualities. During the early 1980s, he substituted for Barrett on the national political circuit. "Larry resists getting swept along by the fashionable opinion of the day by being skeptical, by bringing his experience to bear and by a kind of demonic reporting.

Like some kind of biomolecular Paul Revere, this master gene rouses a host of its compatriots...

One would think a quarter-century would be time enough to harden even a priest to the visual brutality of a city so broken that its people, like many of its buildings, have buckled and collapsed. But each time he goes away, Doyle finds he must slip back in darkness, like a burglar in his own home. "I have to come back at nighttime and start gently with...
