...Coach Len Ceglarski, along with Northeastern Coach Don McKenney, still labels the Terriers the team to beat. The Eagles will be well equipped to try, though, since they return the H-E-M line and goalie Scott LaGrand from last year's Final Four team...

In most parts of the country, though, workshops on how to make the transition and find jobs are available. Information is also offered by the Displaced Homemakers Network. Older women are often surprised to find that they can learn new skills such as computer processing. For younger women, the lesson is one best learned early: more than ever, the job of full-time...
