...pounds, one might not expect much on the soccer pitch from sophomore Mike Fucito. In a league full of tall forwards and even taller defenders, it would seem extremely difficult for Fucito to succeed at that size. But this year, Fucito turned out just fine—he was an integral member of a squad that exceeded expectations by winning the Ivy League championship. Fucito tormented defenders all season with his speed, agility, and determination to pull off bold plays on the left flank. It’s no wonder he finished third on the team with nine goals...
...content with the one victory, Madick entered the second game in the fifth inning and earned the save in the 4-2 series-clinching win. Madick’s season ended in the Hempstead Regional of the NCAA Tournament. Despite not having her best stuff, the junior pitched every inning for Harvard, allowing just four runs over 15 innings against conference champions Hofstra and Albany.

As the sun sets, soft pink clouds are illuminated in the sky, and a single electric star glows from above the doorway of the mosque. Suddenly, the drums fall silent, and the dancing stops...
...what? It was hard to tell if the architect of Singapore's rise from third world to first was charting an economic course or making a sales pitch for a master-planned leisure community-because he was, in a way, doing both. Marina Bay is just one part of a government-orchestrated effort to change the face of Singapore. This is no Botox job. Work is underway on an epic facelift, one that could within a few years render Singapore nearly unrecognizable: the financial district will have a striking new skyline while casinos and other amusements will dot the city...
