...morning at the Murr Center, defeating the Big Red, 9-0, without dropping a single game. This marked the sixth straight year that the Crimson (5-0, 3-0 Ivy) has swept Cornell (1-3, 0-3). “They rolled everyone,” assistant coach Christopher Miller said. “Not dropping a game is a hard thing to do.” Harvard came into the match following its somewhat lackluster 6-3 win over Dartmouth on Wednesday and was looking for an improved showing. “We were really intense and focused [Saturday...
...Despite the controversy surrounding the Second Amendment, arguments about its relevancy have not surfaced in the Supreme Court since 1939, when the justices merely touched upon the issue in United States v. Miller. But early this month, the Supreme Court agreed to take on the case of District of Columbia v.

But the deepening clutter hasn't covered up all the traces of what the building used to be: a hockey rink, which could hardly be a more fitting metaphor for a political contest that is suddenly getting a lot rougher. The old Dr Pepper scoreboard is still on the wall, but the largely twentysomething crew at Obama...
