...throughout the season was not always rewarded with a win, Harvard’s determination did not go entirely unnoticed—the Crimson took home three Ivy League awards. Bobzin, Martin, and freshman Jessica Halpern each earned spots on the All-Ivy Second Team. Bobzin picked up 28 ground balls and forced 12 turnovers on the season to hold down the Crimson’s back line. Martin paced Harvard’s offense with 38 goals and 25 assists, scoring in 14 of the team’s 16 games, and led the league in points per game...
...win—finally reached its Ivy League champion potential. In the 23-7 victory over Penn, the defense continued to shine against a strong Quaker run game, allowing just 198 total offensive yards and limiting the second best tailback in the league to just 73 on the ground.

When Samo signals the presence of a mine by scratching the ground, Emmanuel, his handler, presses a clicker which makes a noise that Samo has been trained to associate with food. He scampers over and snatches his banana from Emmanuel, devouring it in a couple of quick bites. To maintain their conditioning, the rats require regular training when they...
...shriveling of grassroots support, Sunni Muslims turning against al-Qaeda and its messianic, dualistic way of looking at the world. It hasn't gone unnoticed in the Middle East that al-Qaeda has killed more Muslims than nonbelievers. Or that al-Qaeda has failed to take an inch of ground in the name of Islam. With this kind of record how could the Iraqis not turn against al-Qaeda...
