...capture the Ivy League title for the second year running. Harvard was also seeking revenge against the host team, which previously delivered the Crimson its only loss of the season, 193-160, at the annual HYP meet held at Blodgett Pool a month ago.Harvard senior co-captain Eric Lynch set high standards for the team, opening up Thursday’s finals with a third-place finish in the 500-meter freestyle. Lynch touched in an NCAA ‘B’ cut time of 4:19.91 that broke the former pool record.The relays also continued to be strong...
...modest household on the South Side of Chicago, where her father ran a deli. She dropped out of the University of Illinois (she later finished her degree) and spent six years waitressing in Berkeley, Calif. After losing $50,000 she had been lent to a stockbroker at Merrill Lynch, she became a Merrill broker herself. She launched her own financial-planning company in 1987 and then wrote her first book, You've Earned It, Don't Lose It, which became a best seller. She has made her mark offering commonsense advice tailored to people, especially women, who aren't financially...
...Laurie is tepidly drawn and wanly performed; those who've seen 300 know that Snyder is in no way an actor's director. It's not the energizing ineptness of an exchange in an Ed Wood movie, or the carefully detailed high camp of the performances in David Lynch's Dune. It's just, mostly, inert. (The two self-starters are Haley, who does right by his grizzled role, and Morgan, a Robert Downey Jr. knockoff, who chews the scenery and his stogie with equal aplomb.) And while the climax is unusual in a comic-book movie - bad guy does...
...their team. In the individual events, sophomore Evan Schindewolf led Harvard’s biggest offensive effort for the three-day contest, claiming the number two spot in the 200-yard IM with a time of 1:50.88. Schindewolf was followed by senior Dan Jones in fourth, freshman David Lynch in fifth, junior Rob Lynch in sixth, and freshman Niall Janney in eighth. Schindewolf also placed second in the 400 yard IM, followed this time by Janney, Rob Lynch and David Lynch in fourth, fifth and seventh, respectively. “Our team came together really well...
...surveillance plane conked out in southern Colombia. Not only did they crash on top of a platoon of insurgents, but they had the bad luck of being snatched just weeks before the U.S. invasion of Iraq. With all eyes on Baghdad and new war heroes like former POW Jessica Lynch, hardly anyone noticed that three Americans had gone missing in Colombia. Besides, when bad things happen to hired guns, it doesn't pack the same emotional punch of captured U.S. troops or flag-draped coffins. By the time they were rescued on July 2, 2008, Stansell, Gonsalves and Howes...
