O’Neill accounted for all of the Crimson’s offense, shooting nearly-identical doubles down the left field line in both the second and fourth innings. But Harvard went quietly at the plate after Dartmouth took the lead on a James Wren RBI single in the fifth, failing...

Police and army officers had been clustered there near chunks of concrete and walls of sand bags in an effort to heighten security. In the eastern neighborhood of Zayouna, another car bomb exploded at a police checkpoint, killing three people, wire services reported.
