...Greg Cohen added to his team-leading point total by putting Harvard up 1-0 just 1:21 into the game. The game went back and forth in the first quarter, with Harvard and Yale both putting up four goals apiece, but in the second period the Harvard defense shut down the Eli attack while the offense found the back of the net, giving the Crimson a 7-4 halftime lead...
...linked to hypertension, heart damage and depression [April 5]. I agree with Ted Rueter, who heads the advocacy group Noise Free America, that noise levels are becoming unbearable.

...ripe for a musical that showcased nine killers and would-be killers of U.S. Presidents; the show got mixed reviews and never moved to Broadway. A decade later a new, Broadway version was gearing up to open in the fall of 2001. Two days after Sept. 11, the producers shut it down. "There was no chance of an audience coming in with an open mind," says Sondheim. "I wouldn't if I were the audience." Now, 2 1/2 years later, Assassins is finally, warily trying again. "I tell you, get your family out of town till we open," jokes...
