...Harvard has already accumulated more wins than that at the end of last season. But notching two more victories this weekend won’t be easy. While Penn and Princeton both have losing records, both teams have what it takes to pull out an upset. The Crimson must limit itself in turnovers and dominate the boards. “I think it’s been a great week of practice,” said senior captain and guard Andrew Pusar. “We believe we’re one of the best team in the league...

"Demand is also tremendous from day-care centers, pediatricians' offices and children's museums," says Kaboom! founder Darrell Hammond.

...constitution's passage. An earlier version allowed for expropriation of large estates - a hot button issue in a country where less than one percent of the population owns more than two thirds of the land. But negotiations resulted in leaving the current holdings as is and limiting future landownership. On Sunday voters had a choice between limiting ownership to 10,000 or 25,000 acres per person limit. They voted 75% in favor of the former...
