...going to war this month, each with just a lone, small 7.62-mm machine gun mounted on its rear ramp. The gun's rounds are about the same size as a .30-06 hunting rifle's, and it is capable of firing only where the V-22 has been - not where it's going - and only when the ramp used by Marines to get on and off the aircraft is lowered. That doesn't satisfy Jones. "I just fundamentally believe than an assault aircraft that goes into hot landing zones should have a nose-mounted gun," Jones told TIME...
...safer. The plane's backers said that the chance of a dual-engine failure was so rare that it shouldn't be of concern. Yet the flight manual lists a variety of things that can cause both engines to fail, including "contaminated fuel ... software malfunctions or battle damage." The lone attempted V-22 autorotation "failed miserably," according to an internal 2003 report, obtained by TIME, written by the Institute for Defense Analyses, an in-house Pentagon think tank. "The test data indicate that the aircraft would have impacted the ground at a ... fatal rate of descent...
...Saturday night. Harvard went into halftime clinging to a four-point lead, but the defense had already given up 198 yards through the air and 17 points, including two 11-play touchdown drives during the second quarter. The run defense, which allowed 38 yards on 12 carries, was the lone bright spot during the first half.

Knight went down within the first couple of plays of Brown’s first drive and would re-enter only briefly later...

I was pleased with how I placed in the [six-kilometer race] because I’ve never run that distance before.” The lone sophomore racing for Harvard, Brenda Cohen, was 105th, while freshmen Hillary May and Alison Liewen finished together in 112th and 113th, respectively. Senior Eliza Gardner rounded out the Crimson group, finishing 141st. For the men, another large field meant more conservative racing, especially as freshmen adjusted to the longer eight-kilometer...
...against New Hampshire yesterday at Ohiri Field. The Crimson finally broke things open with 15:28 remaining in regulation, when Wideroff threaded a leading pass through the Wildcats defense and found Sheeleigh running on. Sheeleigh beat UNH goalkeeper Nikki Golding to the ball and tucked away the lone goal of the match. Wideroff, who connected with Sheeleigh twice on Friday, got the assist and inspired talk from coach Ray Leone of a potentially dynamic freshman duo. “It’s a team thing but you’re always looking for the 1-2 combinations...
