Princeton also had an advantage because of their excellent freshman swimmers. Not only are Princeton's freshmen fast but they also number 20 as compared to the Harvard team, which has 29 swimmers all together...
...weeks later, there was still no deal. And other parts of his case were shrinking fast. Federal Judge Susan Webber Wright agreed Thursday with a motion filed by Starr that the Jones investigation was getting in his way; but she ruled in a way Starr never would have asked for. Rather than put the whole Jones case on hold, she nixed the whole Lewinsky saga from the Jones lawsuit.

Street has lately zoomed close to her world-beating form, posting a fourth-place finish in a World Cup downhill at Cortina, Italy. But her comeback took a scary detour in a downhill last Saturday at Are, Sweden, when...
