...after giving birth to her son, Keegan, in July, the 30-year-old Markgraf returned to represent the U.S. in friendlies against Taipei and Iceland—games her team won by scores of 10-0 and 2-1, respectively. Between raising a family and playing at the highest level, Markgraf still found time to work with a young Harvard squad. After the departure of stellar goalkeeper Katie Shields ’06 and her record-setting eleven shutouts in 2005, freshmen defenders had to learn quickly this past season to retain the team’s standard for strong...

...rates. Countries as varied as Bangladesh, Great Britain, and Turkey have all had female heads-of-state, but we have not. The global average female participation rate at a parliamentary level is 16.3 percent, according to the Inter-Parliamentary Union.

But it really stings that one of their own, who has been elected and re-elected to the state's highest office, sides with the opposition on so many issues.

It showed voters that the Republican Governor could play well with Democrats. And after...
...Still, I took consolation this week even as I watched LSU rout Notre Dame in the Sugar Bowl. The TV showed LSU 41, Notre Dame 14, but it flashed another number: the Notre Dame team grade-point average surpasses 3.0, one of the highest in all of Division I college football and at one of the nation's best universities. Notre Dame also graduates 95% of its players while less than half the football team graduates from LSU (a program that Saban left as coach just two years ago). Certainly, some cynics will tell you that the tough academics...
