...British drug firm GlaxoSmithKline cut the pay package of CEO Jean-Pierre Garnier last December after shareholders voted it down at the annual meeting.

...reporting the outcome of the games doesn’t even begin to do justice to all that transpired for Harvard down in Bobby Knight country this weekend. During a Saturday tripleheader featuring a 25-20 win over Air Force and 30-8 and 18-6 losses at the hands of Texas Tech, Harvard set all-time records for runs scored and runs allowed before sophomore Frank Herrmann stabilized things for the pitching staff with a 5-1 complete game victory on Sunday...
