...proceedings, an unseen metajudge. The winner, as the show's relentlessly cheery hosts Ant and Dec continually pointed out, would not only trouser the $160,000 award but also - and here the duo lowered their voices in awe - perform for the Queen at the Royal Variety Show. The annual gala requires the Queen to sit through a hodgepodge of musical numbers, pasteurized comedy and novelty acts, a torment that might have been secretly devised by republicans to drive the monarch into retirement. Nevertheless, all the contestants dutifully averred that such an opportunity would be the highlight of their existence...
...defense in terms of points allowed, in addition to driving 30 mile-per-hour winds and single-digit temperatures, Pizzotti led Harvard in a convincing 10-0 victory over the Bulldogs.But as decisively as the season ended, the beginning was not so clean.In the Crimson’s annual night game against Holy Cross to kick off the 2008 campaign, Pizzotti committed four turnovers.

The team won its first five league meets by an average of 93 points before running into its first major competition in the annual Harvard-Yale-Princeton tri-meet. The Crimson fell to Princeton, 170.5-148.5, in head-to-head competition. The sheer number of wins generated by the Tigers’ superstars made a dual meet victory difficult for Harvard to attain, but the Crimson was able to get even at the championship...
...quintessentially European about traveling by train. Or was. European airline deregulation 12 years ago has turned hopping on a plane into a bargain-basement no-brainer. Thanks mostly to the increased competition, improved services and lower prices spawned by regulatory liberalization, air travel in Europe grew at an average annual rate of 4.5% between 1995 and 2005. Over the same period, the total number of miles traveled by all rail passengers chugged along at less than 1% annual average growth...
