...triple to give Harvard the lead and the comeback was completed. The Crimson tacked another four runs in the frame to go up, 14-9.“We haven’t had one of those [types of innings] in a long time,” Harvard coach Joe Walsh said. “We’ll have to get one of those scoreboards that’s got parentheses on it,” he quipped. “Usually that’s only for the other team.”The Crimson almost squandered...
...would not have predicted what happened today five years ago or even five hours ago," said Montgomery County commissioner Joe Hoeffel, who ran unsuccessfully against Specter in 2004.

Democrats - including Vice President Joe Biden, with whom he had shared many a ride on Amtrak when they were both commuting Senators - had been wooing him for years. Specter, 79, had been a Democrat until 1965. But when his latest turnabout finally happened, it caught the entire capital by surprise and altered everyone's calculation of what is now possible. Assuming that the interminable Minnesota recount battle finally ends with Al Franken being awarded the Senate seat - he holds...
