...political dust kicked up by the allegations were in contrast to the smooth ceremony at her swearing in. The traditional presidential sash and baton of power were handed to her by her husband, the outgoing chief executive. There were no questions about popular support: Fernandez was more than 20 percentage points ahead of her closest rival. Kirchner's own accession four years before had been much less smooth. Having lost in the first round of voting against former President Carlos Menem, he became president only when Menem bowed out of the second round, acceding to office with only...

ON THE FITZ Although it was not his highest-scoring performance or his longest outing, yesterday’s game was freshman Kyle Fitzgerald’s most important appearance in a Harvard uniform. With Vermont threatening to leave the Crimson in the dust late in the first half, Fitzgerald’s instilled some life in Harvard squad that had been listless since the second minute of play.

...combined 15 top-10 performances on the day. The women’s squad had the strongest debut, with three winners and 12 top-10 finishes. Junior Becky Christensen won the high jump by clearing 1.72 meters. “Basically, the goal is basically just shake off the dust and get back into competing,” Christensen said. “I jumped kind of how I expected. I jumped about the same as I did at the first meet the last two years.” Senior Danielle Mirabal won the 55-meter dash, finishing...
