...back, tying the game at five, the Harvard team, especially its freshmen, refused to relinquish the lead. With three tallies from freshman Shannon Purcell, and one goal apiece from freshmen Lizzie Abbott and Monica Zdrojewski and junior Roxanne Pinto, Harvard made a splash going into the second half. The main force, though, came from the hand of Kennifer, who scored 10 goals—as many as the entire Cal State team. “Our freshmen played very well, our whole team played very well,” Farrar said. “We did a good...
Lynch's attorney, Reuven Cohen, a deputy federal defender, said, "The bottom line is this: If this case were brought today, Charlie would not be prosecuted, period.

The specialized workforce of nuclear engineers, welders and other reactor-builders has withered, which means higher labor costs and more delays. Our nuclear industrial base has atrophied as well; for example, the world's only steelworks capable of forging containment vessels is now a Japanese monopoly, forcing...
...main culprits are not hard to divine. As households in the rich world, battered by a collapse in the values of their assets, start saving again, their appetite for new cars and consumer electronics has diminished.
