Still, it's a sure bet that when, as expected, New York governor George Pataki signs off on the measure, other states will soon follow. Nobody, except for a few politicians in a few tobacco-growing states, wants to look soft on cigarette makers these days...
While Penn was hardly a throwaway, Harvard had an easier time than on Friday's match against Princeton. Except for Doran, who lost to Stejskal 6-4, 6-1, the Crimson swept the singles matches. Lingman beat Barki, 6-2, 6-3, at No. 2 and Swart defeated Robert Pringle at the No. 6 slot, 6-4, 6-2. Green won at No. 3, 6-2, 7-5 over Harwood...
