...Crimson has six NHL draft picks on its roster, but there wasn’t any question which one Princeton feared the most: freshman Louis Leblanc, who had found the back of the net in three of Harvard’s past four games heading into the weekend...
There is no question that, since the 2008 elections, Democrats have suffered many setbacks. In particular, anger at the continually increasing rate of unemployment, now at 9.7 percent, in addition to the size of the deficit and the level of government spending, has led the national discourse to adopt a more populist, anti-government tone.

Critics of his government say it squandered billions during his first term on expensive social programs intended to buy political support. Now faced with increasing sanctions and lower oil revenues, the government is about to launch a new program to wean the economy from unsustainable subsidies, especially on energy - a move that is almost certainly going to be unpopular...
