...Crimson only managed 28 points, shooting just one-of-nine from deep in the second half, but it was good enough to earn Harvard the 13-point victory—a drastic turnaround from last year’s 15-point loss to George Washington on the road...
...pervasive culture of budget trimming: “This stinks of rhetoric—the whole Web site does," as one student eloquently stated at a subsequent town hall meeting. In September, Smith announced that FAS had cut about half of its $220 million projected annual deficit, heralding some good news to pierce what had been an unwieldy fiscal maelstrom for the earlier part...
...foiled bombing attempt on a U.S. airliner on Christmas Day has raised talk of striking at al-Qaeda in Yemen, where the plot is believed to have originated. Yet the extremists operating from Yemen present the military with precious view good "aim points." In the old days, the enemy had airfields, early-warning radars, ammo depots - even big defense and intelligence headquarters - that could be destroyed from the air.

"He's as good an all-around guard as I've seen," says Tony Shaver, the head coach of William and Mary, which in November lost a triple-overtime game to Harvard, 87-85, after Lin hit a running three-pointer at the buzzer. "He's a special player who seems to have...
