Huling and Binkowski ripped run-scoring singles in the bottom of the eighth off the Green Wave's Craig Brown to stake a 14-11 lead. Junior righthander Donny Jamieson--pitching out of the bullpen after starting much of the season--nailed down his second straight win in relief with one and two-thirds scoreless innings, and the Green Wave was history...
Still, such an inter-generational comparison is futile. Many of those who actively protested the Vietnam War had a great deal at stake--the danger facing them and their loved ones was real and immediate. Our generation, however, grew up during a relatively peaceful period, marked by the end of the Cold War.

Freshman John Birtwell pitched seven and one-third innings of one-run ball to stake the Crimson to a 3-1 lead, but Nicholls State tallied two in the eighth off of sophomore Mike Madden to send the game into the 10th...

For beyond Explorer lies the endless stream of new technology products that will define the way we use tomorrow's computers--indeed, the way we live our very lives: voice and handwriting recognition. Banking and personal finance software. Real-time video and Internet television systems. Security and encryption programs. The Justice Department's view is that letting Microsoft integrate one new breakthrough after another into an OS that, at least for the foreseeable future, most of humanity will have little...
