Harvard failed to score, though, and that deflciency provoked anguished frustration on the Crimson team, and a great deal of Sunday morning quarterbacking among the fans. Twice the Crimson was tantalisingly close to the goal line, and both times it was refused access to the promised land...

A cosmopolitan place, Mobile exudes a certain Southern charm, with towering live oaks along the streets, and botanical gardens featuring beautiful azaleas and camellias.

To forestall accidents, some nervous pool owners use tarpaulin or plastic covers on their pools. Others have rigged them so that an untimely splash sets off an alarm...
