PRINCETON 10, HARVARD 8Harvard’s win over GW was a testament to the team’s mental and physical strength after suffering a close defeat the night before against league foe Princeton (7-1).

...voted on in a special election. On May 19, voters will determine the fate of $5.8 billion in measures, which also include a permanent state spending cap (which would extend the tax hikes from two to four years) and whether or not to divert money from children's services, mental health programs and the lottery into state coffers...
