...Some good pitching beat a great hitting club today, and I have a lot of respect for their lineup,” coach Joe Walsh said. “They have guys that can get on base and guys that can hit the ball out of the park.”Instead, it was the Crimson bringing home the runs—and Yale helping them do it, committing five errors in each game.Harvard and Yale were scheduled to play a second doubleheader yesterday that was postponed due to inclement weather. No make-up date has been scheduled.The Crimson travels...
...Yorkshire farm was where, from the age of 13, British artist Andy Goldsworthy first learned his trade: how to use a shovel, skin a hare, build a dry-stone wall. And it is to the grounds of the 500-acre Yorkshire Sculpture Park, near Wakefield, where he first worked in 1983, that Goldsworthy now makes a fitting return for the largest ever exhibition of his work.

They also illuminate why any recovery in Zimbabwe will be a long time coming. "It's a brain drain," says Archbishop Pius Ncube, a prominent government critic based in Bulawayo. "All the intelligent people--the doctors, the lawyers, the teachers--have left." Through...
...piece for killing a Jew. Quentin Tarantino has made a career borrowing tropes from blaxploitation movies. In the critics-favorite sitcom The Sarah Silverman Program, the star sleeps with God, who is African American and who she assumes is "God's black friend." And the current season of South Park opened with an episode about a Michael Richards-esque controversy erupting when a character blurts the word niggers on Wheel of Fortune.
