...Harvard won its fourth straight by putting a Halloween fright in Dartmouth (2-8, 1-6) at Hanover, N.H., 20-7. Harvard's defense dominated, holding the Big Green to 225 yards, only 50 on the ground. The Crimson racked up seven sacks and three takeaways...
...inflicted on others will be visited upon him. He has plenty to fear. The sight of deputies accusing an incumbent President of high treason is a worrying reminder of how bad things could be for him when he leaves office. And impeachment was not his first nasty fright.

"When [the idea of a tour] was first suggested to me," says a member of his current backup band, "I wondered if Brian could even get through a 20-minute...
...GABEL admits to the occasional bout of stage fright. "Sometimes I have to make myself forget how many people will see my art, or I get distracted," says Gabel, who joined TIME a year ago after working for a newspaper in New Jersey. "It's an adjustment coming from a daily paper with a regional audience to a magazine with a global one." But last week Gabel, who designs three-dimensional illustrations for TIME, faced a different challenge. At midweek, he was called upon to create a special foldout graphic on Internet companies, even as cyberdeals and rumors of cyberdeals...
