...semifinal versus Dartmouth. This time, McCulloch created his own offense, intercepting a failed clearing attempt by Dartmouth’s Eric Przepiorka and skating up to the left faceoff circle before firing a hard slapshot past the Big Green’s goaltender Dan Yacey. That goal, like it predecessor from a season before, set the tone for much of the second period in Harvard’s hard-fought...

He has revived the collection of tax revenues and has vowed to begin modernizing the bureaucracy and the military. But for Russian voters - who aren't, of course, being presented with any serious alternatives - the most attractive thing about Putin may be the promise of stability...
