...Crimson’s lack of confidence and aggression. Cornell was much more physical, and both quicker to and bolder with the ball, and in order to win lacrosse games, players must be sufficiently poised to do just that. Harvard fell into a hole that it could not dig from “People [were] just not diving hard and not drawing slides,” Anderson said. “We almost looked like we were not willing to dodge against long sticks in the midfield and you can’t play that...

...Republicans gave Bill Clinton. "Everything will grind to a halt," one said. That prediction could be a scare tactic designed to get out the G.O.P. vote. But Democrats say that if they are victorious in November, they plan to force Bush to be more accountable, and they intend to dig through records of contracts in Iraq, for homeland security and for the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Democratic Representative Henry Waxman of California, one of the most dogged critics of the Administration, would be in line to chair the House Government Reform Committee and could write witness lists instead of open...
