...string of brutal cases has sparked growing fear. A cement-truck driver named Hua Ruizhuo was executed last year for picking up prostitutes near the Great Wall Sheraton Hotel in Beijing, handcuffing them in his van, raping them and dumping their bodies in rubbish heaps around the city. He killed 14 women. Around the same time, police in China's northeastern province of Jilin captured Piao Yongzhi, who murdered an undisclosed number of longhaired women, keeping their tresses in bags at his house.

Harvard won 5-2 at Princeton after a 6-0 victory over Yale on Friday to cement its status as the first-place team in the ECAC. Freshman Julie Chu scored two goals in each game, captain Kalen Ingram scored three for the weekend and the Crimson’s third line stepped up to score two of Harvard’s three even-strength goals against Yale (3-12-1, 1-5-0).

Over the course of eight nighttime visits, complete with lookouts and camouflage, the Dekes were able to run wires underground through a gap in the cement track that once rounded the field, and then into the bowels of the concrete horseshoe where the power supply was located. Given their poor luck with security, the MIT students waited until the week of the game to install the fire extinguisher-size device into the ground and hoped...
