...nine games this season.Rounding out the tournament’s lineup of formidable opponents is Chicago State. The Cougars fell to undefeated DePaul 91-59, despite double-double heroics by junior guard Jasmin Dixon.Over the season thus far, rebounding has been the chink in the Crimson’s armor, though in the last time out, freshman Claire Wheeler snatched seven on the glass in just eight minutes of play. If the Harvard women can step up the defensive work and immobilize key opponent shooters, Harvard’s strong offense should be able to carry the wins home...
...Watching the G.O.P. search for a nominee has been a little like going to dinner at one of those mock medieval-jousting shows, where knight after knight appears in shining armor, only to be knocked rudely off his horse and into the dirt. Early White House favorites George Allen and Bill Frist quickly fell by the wayside in 2006. John McCain - too much of a maverick to ever be a G.O.P. favorite, and yet a year ago the presumptive front-runner - crash-landed his campaign this summer and is only now showing signs of an unlikely resurrection.

Without Lackner, rebounding is the one of the chinks in the team’s armor. “Rebounding is our weakness,” Hallion said. “How well we do with rebounding will dictate how well we do with wins and losses.” But there is a contingent of talented freshmen who can fill the void...
...posed by explosively formed penetrators, a new and insidious type of roadside bomb that Iraqi insurgents - allegedly with help from some forces inside neighboring Iran - are using more frequently against U.S. vehicles. An EFP uses an explosive charge to send a molten slug of copper through even the thickest armor. "If the use of EFPs becomes widespread," the CSBA report warns, "any advantage the MRAPs have against earlier forms of IEDs may be irrelevant...
