Harvard, not a strong offensive team, launched a barrage of shots and probably should have scored more than 10 times. The icewomen didn't match their offensive output of last year's 12-0 contest or the 13-2 blowout of two years...
Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker calls the U.S. economic recovery, which reached its first birthday this month, "a lusty infant."
