ITHACA, N.Y.—Finishing has been a focal point for Harvard head coach Tim Murphy all season, and, following Saturday’s 32-15 victory at Cornell, it was once again a topic of conversation for the Crimson.

When he stepped away from the microphone to yell, it sent a shiver through...
...French then learned the nation's health care system would finish 2007 over $19 billion in the red - 30% more than initially expected - and would run at least another $11.2 billion over a budget Sarkozy is seeking to pass for 2008. The budget itself is highly controversial: despite eliminating nearly 23,000 civil service jobs, it would still run a 2.3% deficit (worth nearly $59 billion) due in large part to nearly $20 billion in income tax cuts that critics say mostly benefit the wealthy. Like its 2007 predecessor, the 2008 budget is also built upon estimated...
