...Harvard women’s tennis team got in some valuable early-season matches at the United States Tennis Association’s National Tennis Center Invitational in Flushing, N.Y. this weekend. And the second tournament with new coach Traci Green at the helm went down as a success. The Crimson played a total of 20 singles matches and nine doubles matches throughout Saturday and Sunday. The fall season is typically used as a warm-up for the more important spring season, and the team was happy to have the opportunity to play a high volume of matches...
...Pakistanis could envision a PPP without a Bhutto at its helm. She inherited leadership of the party not long after her father's execution at the hands of military dictator Ayub Khan in 1979, and refused to relinquish power even when in exile.

But Novak is the sappiest. At the helm of KFC, he carried around floppy rubber chickens in his briefcase, so he could give them out and surprise a deserving employee.
