Faced with a 6-0 deficit, the Crimson began an improbable comeback against tiring Army pitcher Ken Toney. Caprio drove in Greg Agran and Dan McConaghy with a double and scored on a single by first baseman Rich Renninger to cut the lead in half. But Toney settled down, yielding just one more run in the seventh to get the complete-game victory...
...Ken Russell was made for Aria. The music is Nessun dorma from Puccini's Turandot; the images are the last frenetic dreams of a dying woman.

"The big value is identifying kids who need help," says Ken Rustad, of the Minneapolis school district, where children who "fail" kindergarten are placed in transitional classes. Defenders of the Georgia test policy point out that the CAT is not the only tool used to determine who passes and who stays behind: the kindergarten teachers' recommendations are given equal weight. Edward F. Zigler, Sterling Professor of Psychology at Yale, nonetheless worries about the lasting impact of flunking a formalized test: "If a child...
