Quaker sophomore Kate Murray and Harvard's Harper alternated goals for the next two minutes to leave the score at 11-6. Murray ran through the fan to score the first goal. Harper retaliated less than a minute later with an unassisted shot to the lower left corner after Harvard won the draw. Murray responded with another solo show in which she spun her way around a Crimson defender and shot the ball over the left shoulder of Guyer while struggling to avoid a fallen Harvard defender...
Freedom's Daughters (Scribner; 460 pages; $30) weaves the stories of neglected figures like Pauli Murray, organizer of the first sit-ins in Washington during the 1940s, and Gloria Richardson, the firebrand of the struggle in Cambridge, Md., during the 1960s, into a seamless saga of inspiring protest.

For them, that's the worst of all possible worlds...
...depends on your personal situation. Obviously John Breaux thought he could explain his 180-degree turn on this issue (he was the first Democrat to publicly bolt a few weeks ago) to the folks back home. For people like Murray and Harkin, who both face tough reelection fights, it's a little more difficult - with Harkin in particular, if he bolts, Republicans are swearing that they'll make his life miserable...
