...Crimson (1-0, 1-0 Ivy) blanked Brown (0-1, 0-1 Ivy) in the season opener at Meehan Auditorium last Saturday 1-0, its first season-opening shutout since Harvard defeated the Bears...
...intended to sway an election which claim merely to discuss political issues and evade current laws by eschewing the magic words "vote for" or "vote against."

Campaign finance reform?s champions in the House, Christopher Shays (R-Conn.) and Marty Meehan (D-Mass.), have done their part again after getting their soft-money ban past an unfriendly Republican leadership on Tuesday night. After running a gauntlet of poison-pill amendments designed by GOP bigwigs to erode its support ? and picking up one, courtesy of upstate New York Republican John Sweeney, that would make Hillary reimburse us for riding Air Force One to campaign stops ? the bill sailed through...
