...this, the first competition of Harvard's season, the story was a top eight roster consisting of four freshmen, one sophomore and three upperclassmen. The fresh faces are both a blessing and a curse, holding much potential, but needing to gain experience at the college level...

And the next day, losing ground for the seventh trading day out of the previous eight and posting a 411-point, or 5%, setback for the week.

Harris and her nimble band revitalize some of her best oldies--Love Hurts, Boulder to Birmingham--with an assurance that makes them sound fresh. Spyboy has the kind of loose, effortless charm that most musicians don't trust anymore. At 51, Harris has tapped into her own well of inspiration, and what's flowing out is something you don't hear much on records: wisdom...
