It was the seventh consecutive loss for the Crimson (4-11). Harvard, which still has not won since its memorable upset of Michigan on Dec. 1, blew an 18-point lead in the second half of its final tune-up before kicking off its Ivy League slate at home versus Dartmouth on Saturday. “It’s a tough, crushing loss,” coach Tommy Amaker said...

Bilawal read his mother's will to a closed meeting of senior party officials on Sunday afternoon. The document, which Benazir wrote two days before she returned to Pakistan last October, after eight years of self-imposed exile, apparently called for Zardari to take the reins of the party. But Bhutto's controversial husband says he wanted the family's political legacy to pass to his son, who he said would now be known as Bilawal Bhutto Zardari. Party supporters immediately began chanting, "Long live Bilawal Bhutto...
