...most glaring absence from the Harvard roster was 1998 Ivy League Player of the Year and team captain Ivy Wang. She was forced to sit with a possibly torn rotator cuff and will miss next weekend and maybe the entire fall season. The Crimson has an array of freshmen with the potential to offset the loss...
...tell if yours are among the 670,000 American children ages 10 to 18 with high blood pressure?

We just didn't see it at the time. And by now, baby boomers who once turned away from him are old enough to recognize how he created the Rat Pack in part as a defense against his own aging...
Anyway, the Christmas and Easter crowd turned the ringers off their cell phones and sat through the 90 minute ordeal. Don't worry, the cuff-linked Ivy crowd didn't throw all their $50 into the collection plate. They had plenty dough left over for a little post-worship shoppin' courtesy of Newbury Street...
