Coming into last Friday’s game, a lot of attention had been focused on fifth-year senior Chris Pizzotti. After an extremely successful campaign last season, earning All-Ivy first team honors, Pizzotti entered the game ranked 12th in the nation at the quarterback position by The Sports Network and with an undefeated record in games in which he both started and finished. Holy Cross came in with a potent offense, having posted 492 total yards of offense in the previous matchup, and it took a big effort for Harvard to match its high-scoring attack. Under...
...players to take on the competition in New York City. At William and Mary, Ko had an especially strong performance, advancing all the way to the finals of the Flight A draw.

As a result, 52% of Brazil's 180 million people now occupy the middle class, up from 44% when Lula took office...
This new reality is upending traditional campaign strategies not just for the organizations of Obama and McCain but also for down-ballot candidates and ballot-initiative efforts. And it has hyper-compressed the presidential race. No sooner had the nominees selected their running mates and introduced them to the nation than they began pivoting to present their closing arguments, as Obama almost appears to be doing in his new 2-min. economy ad. In years past, candidates stayed on alert for an "October surprise" that could alter the race at the last minute. But in the brave new world...
