...rout of the Eagles was due in large part to its special teams play. Both the Crimson’s power play and penalty kill units dominated, overwhelming BC at both ends of the ice. The Eagles played a physical game from the beginning, and the contest took a rougher turn as BC showed its frustration as Harvard piled on goals. The Eagles committed seven penalties, giving the Crimson six power play opportunites. Harvard capitalized with four goals with a man advantage. Cahow was responsible for two of the power play scores. Freshman Katharine Chute added one in the third...
Turnout was high - but not unprecedented - for the G.O.P. contest. What may have been more unusual were all the last-minute deciders. "I've never seen this many people in New Hampshire undecided this late," said Dale Kuehne, associate professor of politics at Saint Anselm College in Manchester, as voters prepared to go to the polls. Arizona Sen. John McCain, near-broke and plummeting in the polls just months ago, put on the same green sweater he wore for his 2000 comeback in New Hampshire, and even stayed in the same hotel room.

It remains to be seen which was the exception: Iowa's surge of young and new voters for Obama, or a return to the expected Democratic base turning out for Clinton in New Hampshire...
Even if the Harvard men’s hockey team (6-7-3, 5-4-2 ECAC) failed to earn a win in its two weekend games, the strong performance of the penalty killing unit kept the Crimson’s struggling offense, averaging 2.2 goals per contest, in close games. This success came less than a week after Harvard’s special teams allowed three power-play goals in two games during the Ohio Hockey Classic. The Crimson’s defense held Quinnipiac (11-5-3, 4-3-3) scoreless through all five of its power plays...
...character is what binds the voters trying to choose between McCain and Obama, what does that say about the prospect for a general contest between the two? McCain, after all, might not have any more success challenging Obama's lack of "national security experience" than Hillary Clinton has. Instead, his campaign will need to figure out the key to one other major difference between Obama and McCain: while McCain is leading in the Republican primary polls, Obama appears to be leading a movement...
