...Holy Cross (4-3) yesterday after suffering a disheartening 2-1 overtime loss to New Hampshire (1-6) just two days before.HOLY CROSS 3, HARVARD 0After a promising, if unnerving, performance just a game before, Harvard found no advantage in its home field locale during its 3-0 defeat to Holy Cross. Rather, the Crimson was ravaged by the invading Crusaders. Holy Cross wasted no time with its attack, pouncing on the Harvard net just three minutes into the first half. A rocket pass across the circle deflected into the Crimson goal, launching the Crusaders to an early lead. After...
...quiet during the second half and first overtime, she once again came up big in the second extra frame, this time with five seconds left in the game. Gael striker Mika Matsui broke through and seemed to have a wide open net. The Crimson’s sixth straight defeat seemingly in hand, Mann lunged out and deflected the possible game-winner.

After his defeat in 1988 presidential elections, Jacques Chirac bounced back into the political fray by winning a so-called "grand slam" in the Paris mayoral elections the next year. His political allies triumphed in every one of the city's 20 districts, but it was a close thing: his sub-mayor in the 3rd arrondissement, Jacques Dominati, squeaked through with a margin of just 20 votes. Opponents charged that Dominati and his allies, including his sons Laurent and Philippe...
...many ways, Richards embodied both the old and the new Texas. She had changed the state, but the political ground had also shifted under her as conservative Democrats fled to the fast-growing Republican Party. Her defeat was a shock to the national media. After all, she was a Texan loved beyond the Red River (though to some back home, her accent always seemed suspiciously thicker on Larry King). Most of the men around the Quorum Club table are gone, and now she is too. But the image of her there remains, as a wily woman who played the game...
