...conference play this season.The Crimson (25-1-0, 20-0-0 ECAC) followed what has become its winning formula Saturday evening during its matchup with Quinnipiac (5-22-5, 2-14-4 ECAC) in Hamden, Conn. The combination of yet another shutout by sophomore goalie Christina Kessler, a potent offensive attack led by junior Sarah Vaillancourt and a solid defensive performance anchored by senior tri-captain Caitlin Cahow resulted in a 4-0 Harvard victory over the Bobcats.Kessler made 24 saves to pick up her 11th shutout of the season, breaking the NCAA single season record.

If this year's nominated actors want to join the exalted ranks of Charlie Chaplin, Greta Garbo, Cary Grant, Peter O'Toole and Barbara Stanwyck, they'd better hope they lose, since none of these luminaries received a competitive Oscar...
...explain why a night that sealed McCain's victory was nonetheless a victory for those who were trying to stop McCain at all costs. "Despite the inclement weather and overwhelming odds, social conservatives continue to turn out in droves to show both parties that they are still active, still potent, and a political force ignored only at the candidates' peril...
