Harvard track and field showed marked improvement from last year’s Outdoor Heptagonal Championships, as the men’s side moved up one spot, finishing seventh in the eight-team pool, and the Crimson women improved from last year’s seventh-place finish to notch fourth, just one point behind third place Brown.“Heptagonal Championships is where a majority of our team can compete and do well,” Harvard coach Jason Saretsky said. “It was a fun weekend and a great step for both the men?...
...something I've understood as well as I should" came during one such back of the bus session. But McCain's staff thinks its worth the risk, that by earning the understanding and admiration of reporters they can make Obama seem distant by comparison. Meanwhile, McCain adviser Mark Salter has adopted a traditional "bad cop" role, regularly criticizing the press, alleging, for instance, that the media has formed a "protective barrier" around Obama...

...master the rules Clinton picked people for her team primarily for their loyalty to her, instead of their mastery of the game. That became abundantly clear in a strategy session last year, according to two people who were there. As aides looked over the campaign calendar, chief strategist Mark Penn confidently predicted that an early win in California would put her over the top because she would pick up all the state's 370 delegates. It sounded smart, but as every high school civics student now knows, Penn was wrong: Democrats, unlike the Republicans, apportion their delegates according to vote...
