...line and recorded a sack on each snap, giving him a total of five sacks for the season. Fellow sophomore linebackers Matthew Thomas and Glenn Dorris have also contributed to Harvard’s defensive staunchness. Unexpectedly placed into starting roles, Thomas and Dorris have exceeded expectation, developing a knack for being around the ball. Dorris has accumulated 27 total tackles and one sack during the season, including his first lifetime interception against Lafayette.“What Glenn Dorris and Matt Thomas [have done this season] has been inspiring, because I’m not sure we could have...

It's an ambitious project, but the charismatic Negroponte has a persuasive pitch and a knack for fund raising. With the support of the U.N., his so-called $100 laptop quickly found backing from, among others, Google, Red Hat, Advanced Micro Devices and Nortel. His team is still making prototypes, but a finished motherboard was delivered in April. A wind-up crank has been replaced...
