The Bulldogs, on the other hand, narrowly emerged victorious in the fight for second, a late comeback Harvard was none too happy about, since Yale had placed fifth at Eastern Sprints.“[The Crimson] performed very well…fact is, they gave their best and it didn’t happen for them today,” lightweight coach Charley Butt said. “We knew...

Four of the accused - Michael McKevitt, Liam Campbell, Colm Murphy and Seamus Daly, none of whom were present in court - were judged to have assisted in the organization and execution of the bomb attack, with Justice Morgan describing the evidence against them as "overwhelming." (McKevitt and Campbell are known to have been members of the Real IRA at the time of the attack, while Murphy was described as having been a member of another IRA splinter group, the Continuity IRA, in August 1998. There is no proof that Daly...
