...play to win on a last second jumper, 60-59. Last year, the Crimson used a 20-8 run in the last seven minutes to force overtime and win. Sufficed to say, the Harvard faithful have seen some of the team’s greatest highs and lowest lows in its battles against the Tigers. After a devastating 77-71 loss Saturday night, the Crimson (9-9, 1-3 Ivy) is as close as it’s ever been to being down and out.

Some of the questions are redundant or not applicable for many courses and could be easily omitted on a course-by-course basis, but often are not. The rating rubric itself—in which a score of 2, the second-lowest grade, is labeled "Fair"—is far too superlative and causes confusion.

But the data released Thursday did show some unexpected signs of life. Industrial production revived slightly in December, and loan growth surged. Merrill Lynch said in a report that the fourth quarter of 2008 and this current quarter could be "the trough of this growth cycle," as government stimulus and loose monetary policy begin to boost domestic demand. The data gave enough hope to Credit Suisse's Tao to convince...
