Indeed, the Crimson is also noteworthy among the Ivy League teams for its youth. Harvard routinely fields a starting lineup that includes four freshmen (Wylie, back Nicky Rhodes, midfielder Rachael Lau, and midfielder Allison Keeley) and three sophomores (midfielder Megan Merritt, forward Jamie Greenwald, and back Michelle Hull) among its eleven field players...
With a high concentration of new blood, veteran leadership has become even more vital this year than in seasons past. Co-captains Laura Odorczyk and Katie Shields have risen to the occasion and, along with senior Sara Sedgwick, Hull, and Rhodes, they have formed an almost impenetrable defense. The Crimson hopes that it can be the foundation for a successful season like the one that Harvard had in 2004, when it received an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament before succumbing to powerhouse Connecticut in the first round...

...Powered by two 60-horsepower outboard motors, their rigid-hull inflatable boat is the most valued piece of police equipment in these parts. Before ramsi, there was no police boat or vehicle, and local officers often had to borrow canoes or walk long distances to bring in a suspect or respond to a call for help.

Boeing has since acknowledged that a repair of the back hull, which it performed seven years before the accident, was improperly done. In view of that, the FAA ordered immediate reinspection of all similar repairs. The agency has been cracking down on improper maintenance practices. Says Engen: "In the past two years, we have put on the ground, or severely restrained, 52 airlines." A grounded carrier may not legally...
