...gone in, it quite easily could have been a different story,” Harvard coach Sue Caples said. “I don’t think anyone who was there would say that the score reflected the game.” Sunday’s crowd of 320 witnessed a close contest in efforts, albeit not in tallies. “UMass is a great team. They capitalized on opportunities, and we did not,” co-captain Devon Shapiro said. “It is a matter of us putting things together. We stepped...
...fact that it has its own theater troupe. On the evening of Chavez's marathon address, an actor with garments evoking a past century pranced around the floor of the legislature sporting an anguished look.

...Sarkozy also demonstrated his crowd-pleasing flair in tapping Jacques Attali, a leftist intellectual and erstwhile adviser to former Socialist President Fran?ois Mitterrand, to head an elite panel on ways to unshackle the economy. Attali's appointment continues Sarkozy's habit of "opening" government to leading figures from the opposition. "When you get down to it, maybe be I'm the person who knows how to exploit the talents of the Socialist Party best," he said sardonically. "They have very good people, and ones they hardly use at all. Maybe during another incarnation I was a director of human resources...
