...coach John Tillman said. “It’s something they’re really excited about.”For Harvard (4-4, 0-1 Ivy) the game will provide a chance to bounce back from a winless three-game roadtrip over spring break, which included losses to Penn, Duke, and Denver.However, that will not be easy against a Cornell side that is ranked in the top 10 in the country. The Big Red (7-1, 2-0) currently sits atop the Ivy League standings and is coming off an impressive 13-5 victory against Penn.Like...

...there was still something missing. I noticed it during Obama's response to a young man who remembered how the country had come together after Sept. 11 and lamented "the dangerously low levels of patriotism and pride in our country, the loss of faith in our elected officials." Obama used this, understandably, to go after George W. Bush. "Cynicism has become the hot stock," he said, "the growth industry during the Bush Administration." He talked about the Administration's mendacity, its incompetence during Hurricane Katrina, its lack of transparency. But he never returned to the question of patriotism. He never...
