...lament in a style reminiscent of Prince Siegfried’s melancholy soliloquy in “Swan Lake.” Though lacking overwhelming charisma, he made up for it with his superb partnering of an audacious Cornejo. Her abrupt, instinctual shifts in direction as she leapt at his shoulder felt as though they could hardly have been agreed to in the rehearsal studio. The climactic pas de deux consisted of serpentine twists and wraps and Soviet-style lifts, and what was lacking in emotional rapture was expressed in sheer physicality...
...first set began with back-and-forth action. Down 9-12, freshman Sandra Lynn Fryhoffer nailed a kill to kick off a 5-0 run that put the Crimson back on top. Despite several ensuing errors, Harvard maintained the lead to take the first game.The Crimson leapt out to a 5-0 lead in the second to set the tone for the match.

Yansane, who gave the Harvard secondary fits all afternoon, seemed to have the play that would complete the Mountain Hawks’ improbable comeback when he leapt in the back corner of the end zone for Clark’s perfectly lofted pass. But senior cornerback Andrew Berry, who had spent most of the game guarding the slot receiver, stayed with Yansane to break up the touchdown that would have likely sealed a last-minute win for Lehigh...
...anticipated a huge struggle in immediately meeting federally mandated standards, so they chose plans that would start with lower standards and ramp up in subsequent years. California, for example, required only modest proficiency gains of 2.2 percent a year from 2001 until last year, when required percentage increases leapt up to 11 percent a year. The California state superintendent admitted he hoped that Congress would soften the federal law when it came up for reauthorization in 2007. But the law wasn’t softened, and the huge increases now required mean that many schools which have had solid records...
