Five individual winners for the Crimson highlighted the first-ever Battle of Beantown, held at Gordon Track on Saturday, but it wasn’t enough for top team awards as the women’s track team finished third and the men placed fourth in the four-team field...
...calls to Latino women - part of the nearly two million they've done total, twice as many as the Obama campaign - across the state, 12,000 of them to Latinas in the 37th district.

Luther Smith, an opeative in the Clinton campaign's field office, concedes that "many people had questions" about the former President's comments. But he shrugs off the suggestion that the remarks could inflict residual damage at the polls. "It did not stick to Hillary. She has her own persona," he says. "At worst, it's a distraction...
