...nine Big Green errors, the Crimson limited Dartmouth to .089 hitting en route to a 30-27 victory. Carrying its momentum into the fourth frame, Harvard was dominant. After taking the lead at 4-3, the Crimson never trailed again, leading by as much as seven. Only on the brink of defeat did Dartmouth respond, fighting off four match points before Mahon pounded a kill from the right side to close out the contest—erasing a whole year’s worth of bad memories. “It was just confidence,” Trimble said...
...kids are world-weary and anxiety-ridden. These domineering parents are the subject of books such as Alissa Quart's Hothouse Kids, Alexandra Robbins' The Overachievers and Madeline Levine's The Price of Privilege. Or last year's media sensation, Judith Warner's Perfect Madness, about mothers on the brink of insanity as they seek to create perfect childhoods for their tots. The affluence of these parents is never copped to; yet once these fears enter into the media bubble, they get supercharged into widespread panic by the multiplying coverage...

The precise extent of coordination between Hizballah and Tehran is unknown. But no longer in dispute after the standoff in July is Iran's ability to project power right up to the borders of Israel. It is no coincidence that the talk in Washington about what to do with Iran...
...Week, hands down. The Quakers are hoping for a rebound season after a disappointing, tragedy-tinged 5-5 finish last season, including four straight losses to end the year. To get back to winning, Penn needs to topple a Lafayette team that pushed both Harvard and Princeton to the brink a year ago and currently sits on the curb of the 1-AA Top 25. The Leopards tote a workhorse running back named Jonathan Hurt, who ran for 141 in their opener, and a competent QB in Brad Maurer. Penn counters with what could be the Ancient Eight?...
