Reich argues that consumers have only begun to tighten their purse strings, which will shrink...
Jesse Helms must be spinning in his grave. Elizabeth Dole, the wife of former GOP presidential candidate Bob Dole, won Helms' North Carolina Senate seat by a comfortable nine-point margin after he vacated it in 2002.

...chances for the Crimson whenever he touches the puck. After losing six senior forwards to graduation, including go-to scorers like last year’s co-captain Mike Taylor ’08, Biega’s offensive success last year—as a rookie, he notched nine goals and seven assists—has raised expectations that his play will help form the cornerstone of the Crimson’s attack. It’s only natural for the player who received the Percy Award for Harvard’s top rookie, along with now-sophomore Matt...
