...combined 1-9 playing against high-caliber teams. “I haven’t had a schedule like this for several years, because I haven’t had a team that I thought could handle it—going up against big teams, [that] could dig deep, [that] could fight and be okay with maybe not coming up with a win,” Allard said in March. “This team, I feel, can handle it.” The strategy seemed to pay off at the final early season tournament, the Mercer Classic, where...

Playing with only underclassmen, the Crimson nevertheless put together a strong showing, finishing 7-5, 4-3 in the Ivy League. “Before the season started, I felt we were a very deep team,” said sophomore No. 4 Johanna Snyder. “Playing with only sophomores and freshmen, we had to readjust, but I think we did really well for how young we are.” Despite its youth, Harvard opened the season strong, winning its first five...

His memoir will feed the deep anxiety that the country has veered severely off the right track, that Washington is a cesspool of deception and hogwash, and that the federal government can't be trusted to do much of anything right. At a minimum, McClellan has not made it any easier for Republicans to maintain the balance of power in Washington. But the flap over his book is yet another reminder of how difficult the country will be to govern for whichever party wins in November...
