Each year four or five well-balanced teams take a run at the Indians, but somehow the Big Green always manages to come out on top--Dartmouth has captured at least a share of the Ivy crown every year since 1969, incluing three outright championships.

Similarly, the Conference of Major Superiors of Men, an umbrella organization for U.S. male religious orders, has organized an effort to bail out the La Salettes. Still, that leaves a number of investors whose fate is still...
