Other than Brown, all the other Ivy teams look extremely strong. Yale, Cornell, Dartmouth and Penn are all coming off of double-digit win seasons...
...Wednesday, as Morris was desperately scrambling to head off his collapse, the President was on his triumphant campaign train, bound for Chicago, with a double-digit polling lead. It was enough to have White House advisers like George Stephanopoulos and Harold Ickes--skeptics by instinct, liberals by choice, and Morris opponents for those reasons and more--indulging an uncharacteristic thought: landslide.

Although his lack of fur showed he was not one of her brood, and Koola, her daughter, was clinging to her side, Binti gathered the boy gently in her arms and took...
