...lead all scorers, but Harvard drew on numerous swimmers for an offensive spark. Lee tallied a hat trick as one of eight different players to score for the Crimson. Lee deflected any personal accolades choosing instead to highlight the group effort. “The hat trick was nice, but the team as a whole really played well,” he said. “It was big to get that opening win, and the freshmen really got into the action.” Indeed, reminiscent of the stellar crop of newcomers in 2007, rookies Mike Katzer and Luka...
...It’s nice to be the defending Ivy League champion, but the Harvard men’s tennis team learned the hard way this weekend that it cannot rest on its laurels if it is to break into the highest echelon of collegiate tennis. Given that the team has had no official practices and that it is still tuning up for important fall tournaments in the coming months, the Crimson faced one of the toughest lineups imaginable at the Napa Valley Collegiate Invitational. In one weekend, Harvard took on as many top 30 teams...
...tournaments. A player is teamed up to play a game with a corporate partner, the goal being that after a couple of putts, funny anecdotes, and friendly slaps on the back, sponsors will be buttered up enough to donate.

Nor will she rack up viewers in interviews on the major television networks, another large source of sponsorship. From a strictly business perspective, the English-only rule makes...
...Nasty to Nice The Tories are the traditional party of privilege, Labour the champions of the working class. But Margaret Thatcher, a radical Conservative, kicked against the establishment that tried to block her ascent; her policies appealed to aspirational working-class voters. Her successor, John Major, who came from a very modest background, nicely epitomized Thatcher's success. Blair, educated like Cameron at a private school and Oxford, won three terms as the leader of New Labour, a party as geared to middle-class interests as to workers' rights...
...nice a person could never have transformed the nasty party. It required some iron in the soul for Cameron to face down traditionalists who accused him of betraying Conservative values. That metal is well concealed. Peter Sinclair, his Oxford economics professor, says, "We've had rather few Prime Ministers who've been as intellectually able as David," but recalls that his student (who, he says, won "a sparkling first") was "keen not to show up other people." A similar tribute comes from Vernon Bogdanor, professor of government at Oxford: "He was one of the nicest and ablest pupils I ever...
