Once her term ends, her options open up. She could try to capitalize on her fame with a cable TV show or, more likely, a lucrative speaking career. Matthew Jones, senior vice president of Leading Authorities Inc., a speakers bureau that represents top political figures like Trent Lott and Terry McAuliffe, says Palin could be a big hit if she were willing to work hard. "A paid speech is different than a campaign speech," he says. Corporations and groups would book her initially just because of who she is, says Jones, but to have staying power, she'd need...

It was a game for the record books for Akpan, as the record-tying assist to Omosegbon gave Akpan a share of Harvard’s career assist record. Not only was Akpan a field general, directing plays on the field and dishing out the ball for others to score, but he also managed to score a goal of his own. With an assist from senior John Stamatis, Akpan sent the ball soaring into...
