After thoroughly outplaying an inferior Holy Cross squad for the better part of an afternoon, the Harvard men's soccer team needed two overtime sessions to dispatch the Crusaders (4-6-1, 2-1-1 Patriot) by a 2-1 count at Hart Center Field on Saturday. HARVARD 2 HOLY CROSS...
...Congress, nobody expects the wall to hold. Titillating stories that may or may not be from Starr's grand-jury room have been churning for weeks through the Internet and the supermarket tabloids, waiting for mainstream news outlets to pick them up, give them the luster of legitimacy and dispatch them to the wider world. Last week NBC Nightly News gravely confirmed a Drudge Report item that Clinton and Lewinsky once had sex after he attended Easter services. No big deal. More scabrous stuff than that bounces regularly from cyberland to Jay Leno without stopping for the niceties of confirmation...

House Democratic leader Dick Gephardt, celebrating his 32nd anniversary with his wife in France, declined CNN's offer to dispatch a satellite truck so he could appear on Larry King Live.

...Vogue and GQ. She also understood that the New Yorker was different. Watching her try to blend the sacred and profane was one of the great journalistic pastimes of recent years. Her brain was a table-of-contents mosh pit: a place where a literary memoir mixed with a dispatch from Hollywood, followed by another from Paris--Adam Gopnik on French health clubs, for instance; then some Washington pages in which, say, Al Gore was pried open by Joe Klein; plus a hair-raising investigative piece on some wiggly strain of hepatitis; a dry, subtle poem by Louise Gluck...
