...have been the shot heard round the world, but the 20-foot putt that Merrimack College's Rich Moroda sank on the 18th green yesterday at the ECAC qualifying match in Stowe, Vt., certainly made a lasting impression on the Harvard Golf Team...
...much less report, everything? The author sometimes reaches for cosmic consciousness and produces more comedy than insights: "On one of the fishing boats in the cove, a young down-islander discovered he had the wrong-size replacement batteries for his transistor and flung them angrily into the water; they sank forty feet and nearly hit a horseshoe crab."

He also convincingly portrays a kind of ambitious anxiety that can erupt...
...Martin Marietta ($68 to $51); United Technologies ($59 to $44); McDonnell Douglas ($37 to $30); and Raytheon ($49 to $40).

Matthiae peered down-and saw the most significant library of the ancient world ever found. "My first impression," he says, "was that I was looking at a sea of clay tablets." Most were in piles on the floor where they had crashed down as the city was sacked in 2250 B.C. Ironically, the fire of the Akkadian conquerers ensured that the tablets would survive the passage of centuries...
