...call, she said, "It's been an abuse of power: selective leaking of very sensitive investigative material for political purposes is wrong." Harman said she didn't remember with whom she spoke but subsequently told NPR that she's sure the person was a U.S. citizen. Congressional Quarterly, which broke the story on Monday, described the person as an "Israeli agent...
...devoted two reporters to the developing story and obviously gave them the time and resources that they needed to bring the whole package of investigating and writing articles home.

The victory broke a two-game losing streak and brought the Patriots to 6-6 at home. Although the team is below .500 both in overall and conference play, Harvard is well-aware that its appearance on paper may be deceiving...
