...extended its unbeaten streak to three games Wednesday. Freshman forward Beth Totman scored the only goal for the Crimson. The important victory not only helped the Crimson seek revenge on the Hawks, who ousted them in last year's NCAA tournament, but also provided a confidence booster for the two challenging games they will face this weekend...
...victory handed the Crimson just its second win of the season, but may prove important. Harvard needed a confidence booster following the loss of Kelly, and also junior defender Matt Edwards among other players...
...that hallowed end, it's your job to provide your kids with so much food, fun and comfort that they'll have nothing (much) to complain about. As long as you pack the contents of the toy chest, a stroller, booster seat, white-noise machine and night light, it's easy to placate babies and very young children, who are highly portable and often refreshingly inarticulate.

All three flopped spectacularly--one committing an explosive suicide 41 seconds after liftoff, the others misfiring and stranding their satellites in useless orbits. Three other rockets--Lockheed's sleek new Athena 2, and a pair of boosters from Boeing's new Delta 3 class--also conspicuously fizzled...
