In the end, a new coaching staff, a different training regiment and a renewed vigor weren’t enough to keep the men’s cross county team out of the Ivy League cellar, as the Crimson once again finished last at the Heptagonal Championships...

...trail that enabled Marilyn Jo Drake, the auditor in Iowa's Pottawattamie County, to suss out an anomaly in a county-recorder race she was monitoring in June. She noticed that a 20-year incumbent was being beaten 10 to 1 by an unknown newcomer. Sensing a glitch, Drake cross-checked the electronic results against the totals on the paper vote and discovered the veteran was actually well ahead. The problem, it turned out, was the way the candidates' names had been ordered and coded into the access cards that activated the machines, which were made by Omaha...
