...equalizer came from freshman Harry Schwefel, who looped around the Dartmouth net and whipped a wrister past goaltender Eric Almon (12 saves). Freshman Tim Stay delivered the game winner at the 12:14 mark when a seemingly harmless shot from the right point took an odd bounce and trickled by Almon...
...Thankfully, the idea of an apology for the misdeeds of people long-dead has been apparently squashed by those bright enough to recognize that such a move would accomplish nothing. The push for a slave memorial to be built on the National Mall remains strong. This seems a fairly harmless gesture that might be valuable if it actually served as a balm for the historical wound.

The Islamic militants were only trying to take hostages, of course ? or so they...

The documents, which Cohen obtained by filing a Freedom of Information Act request, contain the top-secret charts and grids the university uses in selecting its incoming class. With their frequent references to the race of applicants, and apparent use of different and lower selection criteria for minority applicants, Cohen's materials are the kind of evidence that make a conservative litigator's pulse...
