...days since his defeat in the Iowa caucuses, Romney has mostly refrained from such confident predictions or prescriptions. Sticking with his newly prominent Olympics metaphor, he's told crowds and correspondents, "We're going to get the gold - or maybe the silver." His early-evening boast could be a sign of renewed confidence, or a sign that the campaign has determined that confidence is what the people want. With Mitt Romney's campaign, it's hard to tell...
...hockey team (6-7-3, 5-4-2 ECAC) now needs to worry about finishing games strong. Despite entering the third period with a 1-0 lead, the Crimson lost, 2-1, to Princeton (8-8-0, 6-4-0) on Saturday night in Princeton, N.J.

...stretches where the other team had been on the run and we haven’t been able to fight back, bounce back, or we’ve been ahead and haven’t been able to finish,” Amaker added. In its most recent defeat, Harvard squandered an 18-point second half-lead in a home loss against UC Irvine, but there would be no letdown in this game. The Big Green scored the first points of the second half, but Lin answered with a floater and sophomore forward Pat Magnarelli followed him with a layup...
