Schwarzenegger is crossing his fingers that the massive public-works plan will help rescue him from political disaster. His approval ratings are well below 40%, his re-election day is just 10 months away, and he's still recovering from the defeat of his pet ballot initiatives by voters who thought he had become too conservative and combative during the special election last November.

...against Vermont.The aforementioned 61-48 win at Albany with two starters out was another strong road performance.It’s hard to fault the Crimson for laying an egg at BC, and the losses to BU and Central Connecticut were not particularly embarrassing. That leaves the 67-56 defeat at Lehigh. It’s fair to say that Harvard wishes it could have that one back. If this Crimson squad is lucky enough to flirt with the school-record 19 win mark, that might be a contest that Harvard could sorely regret.Grade: BLOOKING AHEADWith a matchup with Southern...
