...astonishing 42.6% of adult Swazis are HIV-positive. It doesn't help that Swaziland's ruler, King Mswati, 37, who is Africa's last absolute monarch, sets such a bad example. Mswati may advocate abstinence and faithfulness, but he hardly practices what he preaches. In September he chose his 13th wife, a 17-year-old girl he picked out at the country's annual reed dance festival...
...Boston said. “We don’t want to give away any inches, but we’re just kind of playing our own game right now and keeping things quiet.”Two Harvard entries in the Championship Eight event finished 13th and 15th, respectively, with the sophomore entry clocking a 15:25.16 time and Harvard’s varsity eight crossing in 15:27.12. “I think we had a really good technical race,” said Anton Winter, who rowed in the sophomore entry. “It was really...
Despite the occasional verbal error, Ozzie displayed the skills of a seasoned tactician in rebuilding the Sox roster around pitching, speed and defense, rather than power hitting.

...Tigers since 1995. Trailing 20-17 early in the fourth quarter, the Crimson drove to the Princeton five-yard line, where they faced fourth-and-two. Instead of kicking the game-tying field goal, Harvard coach Tim Murphy elected to go for the first down. On the 13th consecutive running play of the drive, junior running back Clifton Dawson was stopped for no gain, and the Tigers took over. While Princeton stopped Dawson on that play, he generally ran roughshod over the Tigers defense, amassing 203 yards on 35 carries and adding two touchdowns. The Harvard passing game was similarly...
