...cutting on the perimeter. Once the post game is established and the defense collapses, Harvard’s forwards are quick to find the open guard on the perimeter. It is that offensive balance, that versatility of offensive production, that has left Ivy opponents guessing as to which offensive element to shut down first. Leave the perimeter open, and Laura Robinson or McCaffery will knock down threes all day. Pressure the guards, and Harvard’s revived post game will punish the interior defense and end up at the free throw line more often than...
...Houston Police Department has acknowledged in recent weeks that a surge in violent crime is directly attributable to the criminal element that evacuated New Orleans after the hurricane. Murders in Houston, which took in an estimated 150,000 evacuees from New Orleans, shot up by nearly 25% last year and are already up 50% in January from the year before.

The patients, families and pharmacists caught up in Part D know its price, at least in the short term...
...conflict between Summers and his senior staff, which played out while a larger struggle with the Faculty ensued, adds a new element to last year’s turmoil and suggests that the president may have been fighting many of his battles on his own. With his presidency in crisis, it was Summers himself—backed by a few confidantes outside Mass. Hall—who resisted kowtowing to the Faculty in the days before the controversy turned into a national uproar...
