Harvard returns to its non-league schedule tonight against Vermont (4-3). The Catamounts lost on Sunday to Holy Cross, 87-73. The defeat snapped Vermont's three-game winning streak, which included a 93-90 overtime victory over Yale...
...matter what the vice president chooses to do over the next several years, friends and advisers suspect he will keep at least one foot firmly planted in the political sphere - and his name and likeness highly visible. And while the sting of his defeat at the hands of the U.S. Supreme Court may linger, he can take some comfort in new numbers released Tuesday by the Gallup Organization.

But Barak - who may face (and will almost certainly defeat) a primary challenge from former prime minister Shimon Peres - must fancy his chances of reeling in Sharon's lead over the incumbent. After all, Sharon is Israel's most notorious hawk, and even though Israelis have little confidence in the peace process right now, it may be more difficult for Likud to rally a majority behind a man many Israelis fear will...
