...especially when free speech involves shouting “You’re really hot!” in a crowded bar. You can imagine my surprise when I ran into Braddock at a recent Hillary Clinton rally, just across the state line in New Hampshire. (Seriously, people, the crucial first primary will take place just 40 miles from here!) Bennett! You’ve got to be kidding me… are you wearing a campaign button? “What up, bro. I cannot lie. I have campaign fever, and the only cure is more Hillary...
...send him to the bench for the rest of play. Harris fouled John Holland as he chased the freshman down the court on a breakaway dunk attempt.With seven minutes to play, Scott Brittain gave BU that 10-point advantage with a put-back layup after snatching an offensive rebound. Crucial Terrier offensive boards tipped momentum in their favor. In the messy second half, the two teams combined to take 29 shots from the free throw line. Harvard sunk 18-of-22 and BU just 9-of-17.Last night’s win snapped a five game losing streak for the Terriers...

But it is a problem for many conservative Christians. Many of them believe that if the G.O.P. nominates Romney - much less if the country elects him as President - Mormons will gain a stronger hand in the all-important business of saving souls. To them, the stakes of that struggle...
...fire in the first half. The Terriers are shooting 75 percent from three, knocking in 6. 9:56 Harris gets fouled. Makes both on the other end. 19-22. 9:30 Foot on the line, but called a three anyway. Lowe makes another three. But Pusar counters with a crucial three of his own. Then yells at his bench, "Let's Go!" 22-25. 9:00 Housman drives to the paint, goes up strong, draws the blocking foul. Shooting two. Makes the first. The second-swish. 24-25. The Crimson can't keep playing from behind. 8:30 Terriers miss...
