...series. Harvard’s last win against the Terriers (0-1) came in December of 2000. Last year, in Boston, BU downed the Crimson 72-63. Among returning players, captain guard Jim Goffredo scored 10 points and sophomore guard Drew Housman had 12, along with 5 steals. The defeat in Boston was the first game last season Harvard played without senior center Brian Cusworth, who had injured his hand in the previous game. This year, the Crimson will have its 7’0 big man in the lineup. The senior is off to an excellent start...
After squandering a late lead in a hearbreaking loss to Cornell on Friday, the Crimson made sure it had enough insurance to defeat Colgate (3-6-2, 0-3-1 ECAC), winning 4-1 on Saturday at Starr Rink...
...like Michael Jordan repeatedly saved his best for the Utah Jazz, Cornell blueliner Doug Krantz is developing a knack for crushing the spirits of the Harvard men’s hockey team. In many ways, the Crimson’s late collapse in Friday’s 3-2 defeat could be compared to Harvard’s 4-3 loss to the Big Red on November 11, 2005—almost exactly a year ago. In both games, the Crimson held a late lead. On Friday, senior Kevin Du potted a power-play goal, putting Harvard ahead...
...central front in the Cold War, traumatized by Naziism and defeat, with plenty of families and loyalties divided between East and West, Germany was a target-rich environment for espionage. Wolf's foreign intelligence section of the Stasi (he claimed not to be involved in its pervasive organs of domestic repression, though critics doubted this) ran as many as 4,000 agents at a time. They penetrated the top ranks of business, government, parliament, the military and the intelligence services in West Germany and beyond. Wolf developed a particularly effective line in "Romeo" spies, handsome men who would befriend lonely...
...Congress wasn't the only place the Bush Administration suffered electoral embarrassment this week. In Nicaragua, cold-war bogeyman Daniel Ortega - whose Marxist Sandinista government had been an obsession of the Reagan Administration - was elected president again on Sunday despite frantic U.S. lobbying for his defeat. By most accounts, the yanqui politicking - which included a threat to cut off U.S. aid to impoverished Nicaragua if Ortega won - backfired miserably, actually helping boost the Sandinista leader to his first-round victory. That such U.S. pressure tends to work in favor of its opponents is a lesson Washington seems woefully unable...
