Boren is the favorite to win in November, when he will face Republican State Senator James Inhofe, 39, a conservative insurance executive. Before the August primary, when his close friend Boren was considered a distant dark horse, Inhofe praised him as the best Democratic candidate...

The Radcliffe tennis team even worked out an agreement with Harvard tennis coach Jack Barnaby to share the indoor courts with the men's squad during the winter...
