...jinxing the team as it looks for its third straight weekend sweep, but I’ll know better: as the defending champions sit in first place in February, the Ancient Eight title is theirs to lose. The 2007 Ivy champs dropped a road contest to Yale in late January before running the table in its remaining league slate a year ago. Lack of focus or rustiness after the three-week exam layoff, you might say, or maybe just underestimation of a Bulldogs team unexpected to contend in the league that season. At the time, it could have seemed...
...intense games. In the most heartbreaking match of the night, No. 2 DiSesa was up 2-0 against Bulldog sophomore Aaron Fuchs. But Fuchs rallied back in the third game and closely won 10-8. Fuchs then went on win the next two games and the match. Entering the contest, the Crimson knew that Yale would be a tough opponent, but the loss was still very surprising. “We expected the match to be close, but in the end we thought we would beat them,” DiSesa said. One aspect that contributed Harvard?...
...presidential election is far less democratic that it pretends to be. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama began their bids with months of fundraising and media spin, and it seems now that they will end it by soliciting votes from party elites instead of the American people.In a contest with just over 4,000 total delegates, these unpledged Democratic “superdelegates” control almost 800 votes—a 20 percent stake that could become the margin of victory in the nomination. The Republicans, gradually coalescing around John McCain, have been spared the superdelegate dogfight...
...until this year, nobody much cared about the superdelegates. They were superfluous. A nominee can win-and usually does-without the vote of a single superdelegate. Since the inception of superdelegates, no race has ever been as close as this year's contest between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama or gone this long without being decided. So there was no reason to think these party insiders might have to resolve it at the convention. But that's the scenario being raised...
...last night in Beverly, Mass., the Crimson yielded to the Gulls 3-1 (30-24, 22-30, 32-30, 30-24), mirroring last week’s 3-1 loss against Springfield, in which Harvard swept the Pride in the game-opener and then gave up the next three contests. The non-conference match against Endicott (5-6, 2-1 NECVA) marked the second loss for the Crimson (3-2, 2-1 EIVA) this season.“We didn’t want to mimic the game against Springfield but we kind of did, losing in four...
