...strengths, and we’re only getting better.” That will come as scary news to the rest of the league. The Crimson has just five games remaining on its schedule, and Harvard will not be able to ease up if it is to regain its title as Ivy champions after losing it last year. “We want to take it one game at a time,” Fucito said. “Now that we are alone in first place, everyone wants to take us down.

As inflation reaches over 30 percent per year, the government has increased public sector salaries, a populist move that will only worsen inflationary pressures.
