...upper-90’s for an improbable goal and an improbable win. Wideroff continued her inspired play Sunday, tallying her second-straight game-winning goal with another incredible effort. This time, Wideroff received a beautiful ball on the endline from sophomore Devon Sherman, took one touch, then dove out to beat the keeper to ball and put the Crimson ahead for good. In the face of this success, however, Wideroff remains humble and committed to the team, knowing that the work has only just begun for her class of 2011 and the team as a whole...

Unlike Republicans, Democrats are not dynasts by nature; there is real discomfort among the faithful, with the exception of working-class women, about bringing back the Clintons. And there is suspicion, among the party's fervent antiwarriors, that Clinton remains a hawk in dove's coo. But unlike McCain, who offended his party's base on immigration and undermined his reputation for fiscal responsibility by allowing his campaign's finances to crater, Clinton has proceeded with Hillarian equilibrium, carefully calibrating everything.
