After having its streak of eight consecutive Eastern Seaboard titles snapped last year, the Harvard men's swimming team will try to regain its dominance in the Ivies in 1987-'88. To help, the aquamen pulled in seven freshmen: Dainel Hume of Ann Arbor, Mich.; Thomas Killion of Fairfield, Conn.; Johnathan Manson of Decatur, Ga.; Gregory Tull of Phoenixville, Penn.; Paul Watson of Armonu, Penn.; Albert Wolf of Bethel Park, Penn.; and Jose Zumpano of Miami...
After MIT, Harvard opens its Ivy slate with an away match-up at Columbia. Perennially a strong team, the Lions will be looking to regain the league title it lost, for the first time in eight years, last year. The Crimson--which finished second in the Ancient Eight behind Yale--had a hand in the Lions' downfall in '86, pulling off an early-season 4-1 shocker on the strength of a quartet of Catliff goals...

In Washington, officials criticized the Sandinistas, issuing statements of support...
...fighting stops and the rebels are disarmed, Jayewardene could regain some support. But as India's 3,000 troops arrived in the Jaffna area last week, J.N. Dixit, the Indian High Commissioner in Colombo, heightened Sinhalese fears that India might be aiming at more than a temporary stay. When the troop deployment was announced, Colombo promised that the units would be under Sri Lankan command. Sounding a bit like a proconsul, Dixit told a Colombo news conference that the troops would answer to him. The next day Dixit retreated, saying the Indian troops were ultimately under Jayewardene's authority...
