...promising title chances in 2003 and 2006 slip away as the team faltered in the heat of Ivy play.The critics dislike Harvard’s chances this year as well. The preseason media poll gave first- place votes to five teams, none of them located in Cambridge. That was generous compared to several publications. Athlon and Street & Smith each picked the Crimson to finish seventh, while Lindys thinks it will finish dead last.None of this matters to the people who will actually decide where Harvard places.“Our goal is to win the league,” junior...
Still, hunters' donations remain constant staples at shelters and food banks.

"It's very popular and it's very similar to beef," says Sarah Robertson, who coordinates food donations at the Atlanta Community Food Bank, the state's largest food bank, which distributes to more than 800 shelters each year.

But when prices collapsed again in 1998, Congress approved the most generous disaster packages in history...
Even though I’ve only just finished my first quarter of teaching, I already know that money isn’t solving the problem here. Even the most generous government subsidies haven’t improved Helena’s situation. Thanks to The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 and the local school district’s “Title I School Improvement” status, we have an entire building full of federally funded posterboard, copy machines, and as of my last visit, several new SMART Boards. My English department, also sponsored by federal...
