...Lily Allen became the first breakout star on MySpace, and even nonadolescents could figure out the appeal. Her debut album, Alright, Still, had an irresistible single called "Smile," a follow-up about a dope-smoking little brother, and just enough ska and reggae samples to hint at the existence of a precocious streak. There was a minor controversy over Allen's fondness for obscenities and Mockney (the British term for the upper-class affectation of a lower-class Cockney accent, ŕ la Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins), but even that advanced her charm as a real girl sticking...

Not surprisingly, Harvard has already accumulated more wins than that at the end of last season. But notching two more victories this weekend won?...
