So Cambridge (pop. 7,000) drafted Warren Hanson, a former yoga teacher turned urban planner who champions livable, affordable neighborhoods, to fight back. In St. Peter, Minn., dubious officials watched Hanson on the council-chamber floor maneuvering toy cars and Styrofoam houses on a gigantic paper plan of a neighborhood.

After all, Yale has been trying since its birth (the unfortunately...
Could this Crimson group—one whose seniors and juniors endured a disastrous 4-23 season—finally be the one to hoist that banner to the rafters and shake the dubious distinction that has haunted the program for decades...
