...beseech you, casual Harvard fans and Crimson Crazies alike, if you want to see world-class athletes, fast-paced action, and hard-hitting checks into the boards (okay, I’m still working on that one), go check out a women’s hockey game. For starters, Harvard returns to BC to face Northeastern in the Beanpot’s consolation game at 5 p.m. tonight...

The resort's private beach and sports facilities can be enjoyed by guests of all three hotels...
...Pentagon isn't into grandeur or ceremony, or so it seems. On Friday, in his first official press conference since taking over six weeks ago, Gates shunned the traditional Pentagon press briefing room, with its imposing stage, Pentagon seal, podium and klieg lights, opting instead for a casual get-together with the fourth estate at his dining room table. With some four dozen reporters crammed into the room, the session covered the gamut of defense issues; how the U.S. military will indeed chase and kill or capture Iranians if they threaten U.S. forces, as the Administration made clear earlier...
