...Harvard baseball team may no longer be the preseason favorite to claim the Ivy title and the top spot in the Red Rolfe Division coming into the 2009 campaign, but this scenario may turn out better than expected.

In her first swing through the Middle East since taking over as Secretary of State, Clinton was careful not to show favoritism toward either Israeli contender. Each got 60 minutes...
