Freshman goalie Lauren Mann came into the year not even knowing if she would start. “Coming in I had been told I had a good chance of starting, [but I] wasn’t sure our first two games,” Mann said. “So I didn’t think I would be starting in those and I was surprised when I saw my name in the starting lineup. But it was really cool.” Suffice to say, expectations were low—a solid presence on the backline would have...
...team notched key Ivy wins over rivals Cornell and Penn en route to a respectable league finish. In the latter match, the consensus high point of the season, Harvard took it to the Quakers in rainy Philadelphia, riding huge saves from Ivy League Rookie of the Year Lauren Mann to notch the victory. Although the rest of the season did not turn out as well, epitomized by a 5-0 defeat against Princeton two weeks later, the effort showed what the young core of freshmen is capable of in the future. “We always want to go undefeated...
...Alison (Katherine Heigl) and her sister Debbie (Leslie Mann) are out clubbing, celebrating the former's promotion from stage manager on one of those Inside Hollywood TV shows to an on-air job.

He's hopeful of a relationship; she's hopeful of never seeing him again. Many distressing pregnancy tests later, they both have...
...dense with facts and footnotes-his bibliography runs to 27 pages-Hutton sets out a detailed analysis of China's rise and of what Western nations must do to preserve a leading role in the face of it. His proposition is fairly simple, and pretty much diametrically opposed to Mann's. "If the next century is going to be Chinese," Hutton writes in his preface, "it will be only because China embraces the economic and political pluralism of the west." Beijing faces a host of woes ranging from pervasive corruption to a crippled banking system to the contradictions inherent...
...China Fantasy and The Writing on the Wall are penned by men who clearly feel passionately about their subject. Mann's book is a distillation of years of observations on the interaction between Beijing and Washington. On the other hand, while Hutton's research is prodigious, he seems to begin with a set of preconceived ideas, and makes clear in his acknowledgments that he took on this project at the urging of his agent, despite knowing very little about China. I'm inclined to agree with Mann on the likelihood of democracy evolving in China anytime soon: as long...
