Three tournaments. Three victories. The Harvard women’s golf team continued its perfect start to the season by winning the Yale Fall Intercollegiate in New Haven, Conn., this weekend. The Crimson shot 301 yesterday, as the tournament was adjusted to one-round following heavy rain on Saturday. On the first day of play, Harvard got off to an early lead in the poor conditions. The Crimson seemed to be cruising to yet another tournament win, until the weather added some unfriendly complications. With the Harvard golfers on the back nine, the course was deemed unplayable due to puddles...
...Democrats at the university. "If [Klan members] come, both black and white students here at the university will protest," adds Black Students' Union president Brittany Smith.

Put them all in a room together in what are often poorly planned prep sessions, and you have the perfect recipe for disaster: the staffers discover great catharsis in firing increasingly nasty "prep" questions at the candidates, who in turn become more and more itchy under fire until finally exploding with a gusher of recriminations at their staffs for failing to prepare them for so many impossible questions...
...Finally, the savvy viewer should remember that any moment that looks too perfect to be true probably isn't. I once worked on a campaign in which we made a big show of opening our secret debate-prep session to reporters. The highlight was the part when the candidate dramatically rejected the lame, scripted debate answers we staffers had offered up, vowing instead to just tell it like...
