...interested in the biology, psychology and philosophy of love as written in a communally agreed-upon encyclopedic tone. Fourth in love is the mysterious lovecalculator.com. The site, which claims to be designed by Dr. Love himself, estimates your chances for a successful match based on you and your mate's name. After nearly 10 years of marriage, my wife and I scored an impressive 87% chance of success, so obviously it's scientifically accurate...
...points, despite dealing with foul trouble in the second half. Reserve forward Brennan Votel had a career-high 11 points, while Grandieri and center Steve Danley each had 10. Captain guard Jim Goffredo led Harvard with 14 points, but shot only 5-of-19 from the floor. His backcourt mate, sophomore Drew Housman, had a relatively quiet night with just nine points, compared to his career-high 33-point outburst the night before at Princeton. But Housman made his mark on the defensive end, holding reigning Ivy League Player of the Year Ibrahim Jaaber to nine points...

Both work under men whose popularity has plummeted because of the bungled conduct of a war (Iraq for George Bush, Lebanon for Ehud Olmert). And both realize that this vulnerability, combined with the even greater weakness of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, has made the timing ripe for a new strategy for an Israeli-Palestinian peace...
...mind turns to the wooden frames he used to win four Grand Slam tournaments, starting with the Australian Open 50 years ago, when he beat his mate Neale Fraser on grass in the final. "I can show you," he says, rising from his dining table and disappearing into another part of his Brisbane home. Though 70 and with two new hips, he moves lightly, returning moments later with a battered racquet. Its head is small by today's standards, but it feels heavy and unwieldy. Cooper's big break in the '57 Open was Fraser upsetting Lew Hoad...
