...Crimson, seeded third, blew out Dartmouth 8-1 in the first round of the tournament before facing the second-seeded Penn in the semifinals. One week ago, an undefeated Harvard team headed to Philadelphia ranked No. 3 in the country, only to suffer its first loss on the season, a 6-3 setback at the hands of the Quakers. This week, the team had revenge on its mind...
...fire on a car carrying me and three colleagues, almost killing us. Afterwards, furious, I called and text messaged my G.A.M. contact, code-named "Iskander," to tell him to get his trigger-happy men to stand down. Iskander's role as a G.A.M. operative was secret-until I unwittingly blew his cover that day.

Iskander was arrested and began a nine-year sentence in prison in the province's capital Banda Aceh...

...another wrenching loss to the Tigers--the second double-overtime defeat at Jadwin Gym in the last four years--is whether the team can avoid a repeat of last year’s post-Princeton dissolution. The circumstances this year are slightly different, of course. In 2006, the squad blew a last-minute lead at home to fall on a buzzer-beater in the final second, which lead to a string of six more losses, a swoon that served as the emblem for Harvard’s most disappointing season in recent memory. This year’s team held...
...fire in the street’s sewers blew the covers off of three manholes, causing the street to be cordoned off from Massachusetts Avenue to Palmer Street and forcing about a dozen local businesses to be evacuated, according to Deputy Fire Chief James F. Burns. Firemen were summoned to the scene after black smoke and flames were seen shooting up from the manholes. Several fire trucks and ambulances arrived, completely blockading the area. Policemen directed traffic and curious bystanders away from the firefighters as they battled the subterranean flames...
