...entry of each new class brings a handful of Washington "color" stories about which newly elected officials are rooming together. This year's featured the Salazar brothers (Rep. John and Sen. Ken, both D, Colo.) - who share a two-bedroom, one-bath "luxury apartment" - along with an obligatory sitcom pitch: "The Salazars." Two brothers grow up on a ranch, come to Washington and encounter all kinds of goofiness, like an army of reporters in their kitchen asking hygiene questions...

...Donnell Field in two games by Princeton on Saturday, eliminating it from the best-of-three Ivy Championship Series and ending a campaign that seemed destined to culminate in another Ancient Eight title. But the visiting Tigers (18-23-1) intervened, bouncing Harvard (21-20-1) with superior pitching and timely hitting in 9-3 and 8-2 victories and earning the Ivies’ automatic berth to the NCAA Tournament. “It was just a tough day,” Crimson head coach Joe Walsh said. “That’s it.
