...page-turning tale with well developed characters that seems boxed up and ready for the silver screen. It's impossible to read this book and not think of the 2007 film There Will Be Blood, which put the ruthless business of land rights and oil drilling into sharp focus. Burrough's tome, though, is broader and explores not just the greed, wealth and risk of early twentieth century American oil prospecting, but also what it meant for the rest of the country beyond Texas. Lyndon Johnson, Dwight D. Eisenhower and George W. Bush are just three of the politicians...

Harvard led Princeton 96-90 at the end of Saturday’s competition at Blodgett pool, with both teams swapping the lead throughout the course of Sunday...
...technical fall rule–the two grapplers made little impact in a lopsided defeat. After bringing the score to 16-8, the Crimson watched the next five bouts slip away, conceding the match without much drama to an energized home squad.While the coaching staff and players try to focus on the performance of available grapplers, the reality of replacing Caputo and Jantzen has taken its toll, depleting a roster that had received top-25 votes early on in the season during healthier times.Senior Patrick Ziemnik (174), sophomore Michael Sadler (165), and freshman Johnny Motley (133) all shifted...
