...assists (298) and second in the record books in total blocks (370). Trimble was also named Ivy League Player of the Week for the week of Nov. 12 after her season-high 24 kills and match-leading .488 hitting percentage in the Crimson’s heartbreaking 3-2 loss to Cornell in the final weekend. Outside hitter Laura Mahon capped off her senior campaign in fine fashion, playing in all 93 games of all 26 matches this season. With her 1100 career kills and 1292 career digs, Mahon joins Melissa Forcum ’99 as only the second...
...propensity to leak goals late in games. Faced with its first true challenge of the season—a West Coast road trip against perennial contender Loyola Marymount and defending national champion UC Santa Barbara—the porous backline finally gave way, as the Crimson suffered its first loss of the season to the Lions. Another late collapse in Harvard’s second fixture allowed the Gauchos to tie it up, 1-1. Although the Crimson’s faults became increasingly apparent, it would be remiss to assume the squad was resting on underserved laurels. Harvard carried...

The squad dropped close matches to Wisconsin and Boston University and suffered convincing losses to seven ranked opponents...
...Nixon will need acute political judgment to sense the strength of the conservative resurgence. It is conceivable that the Administration’s loss of national popularity, coupled with out-spoken campaign tactics by its Republican critics, will throw the balance of power to the Old Guard at the 1960 convention. Though this possibility seems remote at present, too close an identification with a waning political force such as Eisenhower could hurt Nixon’s presidential chances. On the other hand, a premature commitment to the Old Guard might cut off Nixon’s favored position...
...resolution of the Florida and Michigan problem isn't likely to go totally Clinton's way, and this is a situation where a draw is her loss. Since Obama wasn't on the ballot in Michigan, the committee is unlikely to seat the delegation without apportioning Obama at least some delegates. Even if he got just the 55 uncommitted delegates, he'd pull out of Clinton's reach. The Michigan Democratic party's proposal before the committee would give Clinton 69 delegates and Obama 59, a compromise that Clinton vehemently opposes. The committee, meanwhile, seems to be moving toward...
