...guard in recent Ivy history.“[Housman] learned from his effort the first time around,” Sullivan said. “I thought [Housman] did a much better job, but Jaaber’s got pro hands and pro quickness. It’s no fluke he’s so great.”VOTEL OR DIEComing off of a draining loss to Princeton on Friday night, Harvard was not expected to have much left in the tank.Its wary frontline would eventually hit the wall, and, most likely, the Ivy-league’s leading...

Neither his victory, nor Tester's, can be considered a trend toward blue in the West, as some Eastern pundits have interpreted it. Voters in those traditional G.O.P. counties demonstrated that no amount of scandal could sour them on Burns...
