...lost cause of civilization built upon three visibly endangered species: courtesy, sensibility and learning. They have the distinction of being the last body of literary men with the self-confidence to instruct their fellow Americans on how to live. These generalists, these gentle men of letters, promulgated their code as assertively as up-to-date experts-psychologists, urban planners, sex therapists-lay down their laws today...
Though fire officials claimed to have found at least one serious fire violation in the hotel-holes had inexplicably been cut in the fire walls near the catwalk, possibly helping the fire spread-the MGM Grand apparently met all other fire regulations. The county building code passed in 1979 required new hotels in Las Vegas to install sprinklers and smoke detectors on every floor, but the MGM Grand, built in 1973, was exempt.

Some states (Massachusetts, Washington, Connecticut) and some cities (Boston, Atlanta) have in recent years enacted relatively stringent fire codes.

...Crimson defense. The Terriers fired a volley of shots on the Harvard net, but most were harmless perimeter blasts, with no follow up or rebound. Lau's excellent stick-work (strong, wide clears) made sure of that, and then Mark Fusco, Scott Sangster, Neil Sheehy, Alan Litchfield, Ken Code and Bill Sztorc--all of whom played well--got the puck out. No crowd scenes in front of the net, no tip-ins, and a well-played...
