...muggy, 77-degree conditions, Harvard field hockey battled against Providence College in a non-conference contest under the lights at Jordan Field. The Crimson (5-3, 2-0 Ivy) fell, 3-1, to the Friars (7-3, 1-0 Big East), who claimed their third straight win in team head-to-head history. With the win, Providence also managed to snap Harvard’s four-game home winning streak. The Friars came in fighting and wasted no time scoring as freshman Julie Ruggieri knocked in a loose ball to the lower left of the net just over...

...Edsel was one of the cruelest tributes ever paid a man.

That's the same McNamara who became President Johnson's Secretary of Defense and refused to recommend withdrawing from Vietnam, even though...

His gushy style - leaning heavily in on his guests, responding with a fervent "oooohhh" for each innocuous comment - inspired one of Rick Moranis's great running impressions on SCTV. It was parody borne of affection, not derision...
...troops doing all of that in the middle of sectarian fighting, and under continued attack from suicide bombers, doesn't sound much like what most Americans would imagine as the end of the war in Iraq. True, it would mean removing the combat forces that go head-to-head with insurgents on the ground because they are patrolling to provide security - a responsibility that would pass to Iraqi forces, such as they are. That, in turn, would mean a drop in casualties. But short of the outbreak of peace in Iraq - not likely - White House planners...
