Sunday, Harvard met Ivy League foe Brown in the semifinals. Up to that point, Brown had had easy wins over Marist and Penn State, and was on the short list of teams looking to take the tournament as the No. 4 seed. Fish switched around the doubles teams, pairing up a previously injured Lingman with Lee at No. 2 to replace Oli Choo.

Preposterous is a good descriptor of the notion that children's books should be excluded from the New York Times best-seller list. What differentiates children's books from others? Is it the lack of a good story, worthy characters or beautiful writing? Of course not.
