...jury heard and saw the first of pieces of evidence. Referred to by Baker as "uncontroversial," these are the facts that nobody is contesting: a basic chronology of events leading up to the crash; a video of a car retracing the route from the Ritz to the Pont de l'Alma tunnel; and security tape footage of Diana and Dodi at the hotel. There's more chronology to come on Thursday, then a visit to Paris to see the tunnel and the hotel early next week. After that, the inquest gets into the details, and things get more complicated...
...begins. The inquests into the deaths of Diana, Princess of Wales and Dodi Fayed finally kicked into gear on Tuesday, more than 10 years after the couple and their driver were killed in a car crash in Paris' Pont de l'Alma tunnel. That's 10 years of investigation, speculation and accusation, all building up to this point. But if Day One is any indication, anyone expecting a real-life episode of Law & Order to play out in London's Royal Courts of Justice will be sorely disappointed.

The Crimson used a substantial height advantage and a lot of energy to coast to a 3-1 (30-26, 30-27, 27-30, 30-20) victory against Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) at Du Pont Gymnasium last night. After some halfhearted efforts in league games of late, the Harvard players have discussed their lack of energy on the court. Recently, the Crimson (5-9) has lacked the team cohesiveness to accompany its size and technical skills. In particular, the team has struggled out of the gate...
