The visitors played as if it were the NCAA finals, and when the score chart read 14-14, the Crimson moved to take command, as Cheng served the two winning points. At least MIT seemed a bit rankled.

It was a challenging and at times tormenting experience. I needed to be constantly alert, but there were periods when I realized I was not at my best.

The next time the computer sees the command CIRCLE, it will locate a copy of the definition and start executing the instructions it contains. Repeating the commands within the brackets, it makes one tiny right turn and takes one tiny step forward, 360 times in a row. This linking of 360 tiny straight-line segments, as any calculus student or Logo child will tell you, produces a perfectly acceptable approximation of a circle. CIRCLE can then be combined with other commands to produce flowers, faces...
