Replacing South Carolina's aged Strom Thurmond, Republican Graham, 50, was every bit the contrast--boyish, fast talking and a maverick. He hit the national stage as a House manager in the impeachment of Bill Clinton, but in the Senate he has bucked the Bush White House on its treatment of detainees and no-warrant wiretapping. He's effective, pushing through a bill last year to expand health care for the Guard and the Reserve. But his strength is stepping up to a big moral issue, like how far to go in the war on terrorism, and making his voice...

On offense, Harvard scored three goals in each of the second and third quarters to build an 11-3 lead. “We gave up some...
...both boats settled into the first 500. “Having raced them so much last year, we knew they are an incredibly good boat,” varsity five-seat Toby Medaris said. “We knew it was going to be an incredibly hard and very fast race.”And for the first 800 meters, Harvard held its own. The Crimson maintained the three-seat advantage throughout the first half of the race, keeping Princeton at bay as both boats approached the Mass. Ave. bridge at the halfway point.“We really worked...
