...look team took the field Saturday at Lafayette. A team that had seven turnovers and was lucky to escape 1-1 in its first two games of the season turned things around with a solid, turnover-free performance that included its most balanced attack of the year. The bulk of the turnaround came from Harvard’s ability to protect and possess the football. After an abysmal deficit in possession time last weekend against Brown, the Crimson seemed to move the ball at will, holding the football for over nine minutes in multiple quarters. “I don?...

Malik insisted that it was too early to say, but hinted that early suspicions were being cast on Taliban commander Baitullah Mehsud, who has been accused of ordering the bulk of the nearly 100 suicide attacks to have killed over 1,000 people in Pakistan over the past two years.
