...surrendered two goals in the game’s final 24 seconds to help Denver to an improbable comeback on the Pioneers’ home field. Last year, it took triple overtime—and the longest game in school history—for the Crimson to beat the Pioneers for the first time ever.But on Saturday night, it was the best defensive effort of the year that propelled Harvard (2-4, 1-0 Ivy) to a thrilling 6-4 road win over Denver (5-5, 1-0 GWLL) in front of a bipartisan crowd of 1,481 fans...

The senior midfielder ended the day with 13 total points, seven coming on assists—both tops in Pioneer history. The record-setting performance came just days after Leggio was named conference Player of the Week, but the scoring spree still came as a surprise to Harvard...

And during the Tony Blair years in the U.K., he's made himself into an architectural and city planning power at home, pushing for real architecture over kitsch revivalism and for high-density city living over suburban sprawl...
BEFORE MAGNETIC RESONANCE imaging (MRI) became standard in the 1980s, doctors had two ways of looking inside the human body: the not-always-precise X-ray, which exposed patients to radiation, and surgery. Physicist Paul Lauterbur, a co-winner of the 2003 Nobel Prize, helped pioneer the use of MRI technology-- previously used largely to examine chemical structures of substances--to obtain clear, detailed images of human tissue. Doctors now prescribe more than 60 million MRI exams annually...
