Lehigh coach Pete Lembo said after Harvard’s heartbreaking 36-35 loss to the Mountain Hawks that the Harvard offensive line was the “nastiest bunch of guys” he had seen in a long time. The crew is led by senior right tackle Jamil Soriano, a 300-pound stud who might join Morris in this year’s NFL draft class. Senior Nate Torinus has filled in admirably for sophomore center Andy Smith, who tore his ACL midway through the season. The line’s third senior, Jack Fadule...
Realizing that the opportunities to distinguish oneself—especially statistically—are few and far between for a lineman, Turner this year established the “Nastiest O-Lineman in the Country of the Week” award, each week presented to the best-performing and “meanest” Harvard lineman. He keeps a special tape of some of the most vicious plays, and uses the tape as motivation for all players...
...nastiest free-for-alls is in Ohio, where Republican Justice Evelyn Lundberg Stratton and Democratic Cuyahoga County judge Janet Burnside are locked in a close battle for Stratton's seat. On Stratton's side are doctors who feel she is more likely to keep malpractice awards low.

The last conflict introduced the world to the "smart" bomb, when Gulf War commanders narrated videotapes showing precision-guided munitions taking out discrete buildings they had targeted. Today's smart bombs make the old ones look dim-witted. What's more, newer smart bombs are far cheaper and easier to use, so there would...
...Germany, in the early 1960s with a band whose front line is Lennon-McCartney-Harrison because Lennon, in his wisdom, had decided that he would put at risk his dominance to build the strongest group. The way to think of those early Beatles is as one of the grittiest, nastiest, best punk bands ever, getting tighter by the night during sets that might last eight hours. "We were frothing at the mouth," Harrison remembered in The Beatles Anthology, a scrapbook of photos and reminiscences published last year, "because we had all these hours to play and the club owners were...
