...Davis were barely defeated 9-8 (4) in an intensely close match. But Harvard did have a bright spot at No. 3 doubles where the freshman tandem of Camille Jania and Samantha Gridley topped their opponents 8-4. After doubles, the Crimson was down by a point; thus to gain victory over the Big Green, Harvard had to win four of the singles matches. Exchanging wins and losses with Dartmouth, No. 1 Ko, No. 3 Jania, and No. 6 Sibilski all gained points in singles. Ko defeated Molly Scott in straight sets, 6-2, 7-6(1) and Jania easily...

The redistricting of local districts and reapportionment of congressional seats is based on census counts - a state could gain or lose seats based on its population, and shifts within a state determine plans for redrawing political boundaries. The redistricting that took place in Texas at Tom DeLay's urging following the 2000 census - which swung six congressional seats to the GOP - is just one example of how dramatically political fortunes can shift based on the use of those crucial numbers...
...alternative—letting funds earmarked for construction sit in Harvard’s endowment, gaining very little interest—stalls the construction process without any noticeable academic or monetary gain. In light of the benefits of expanding on schedule, namely the vast amount of research that can begin to take place once Harvard has additional space, it seems unwise to wait for the market to improve before initiating the expansion process...
