Coming off a string of bad results, Hartwick--a perennial powerhouse in collegiate soccer--started rolling in the past two weeks with wins over Ivy League-leading Columbia and nationally ranked Philadelphia Textile. And when the Crimson booters jumped off the bus in the little hamlet of Onconta, their hosts were prepared to play...
...tony touch in Ecstasy, 49 years ago, when the heroine's string of pearls burst and scattered to symbolize her surrender to passion.
