...Harvard couldn't hang on, allowing the Bears to take a 2-1 lead with barely a minute left on the clock in the second. But the Crimson's fate was sealed early in the final frame, as Brown defenseman Greg Hayes scored the eventual game-winner, sending a hard slapshot from the left point right by senior goaltender J.R. Prestifilippo at 5:14 of the third, giving Brown a 3-1 lead...
There are many concerns facing us, but this is also a time to reflect on the accomplishments and failures of the past century, sorting out which things can be done and which should not be. Our fate will depend on what we do of our own free will. What can we do to raise the standard of living in the U.S.?

Wells Fargo and Bank of America began barring noncustomers from using their ATMs in Santa Monica, Calif., after the city council banned surcharges. San Francisco residents may soon be facing the same fate. "The banks have a right to earn a return on their investment," argues Joseph Morford, a banking analyst for Dain Rauscher Wessels in San Francisco. The machines cost up to $50,000 each. But consumers now appear to be lowering their own costs by cutting back on trips...
