...Cardinals 20-2, but rallied with a hard-fought victory over Sonoma State, 8-7. The two contests mark the beginning of Harvard’s California Spring Break road trip, its longest road trip of the season. All week competition is played outdoors where Harvard faces a harsher environment than at home in Blodgett Pool. “The ball does behave a little differently [outdoors],” Crimson coach Erik Farrar said. “So [the team] has to reacclimate to the conditions.” Harvard closes out the six-game week against Pacific...

Overburdened prison facilities essentially hand inmates harsher sentences than they deserve, decreasing their likelihood of real rehabilitation and increasing the possibility that these men and women will continue to cycle through the system. While the state may have reason to object to the court order’s imposition of a numerical mandate on prison population reductions...
