...Those relentless credit-card offers left in your mailbox dropped 17% in the second quarter compared with last year, according to mail tracker Synovate. Who's being ignored? The less affluent: 52% of households with income below $50,000 have gotten an offer this year vs. 66% last year. Even if you already have plenty of cards, you're not immune.

...bitter end to the day.JOHNS HOPKINS 12, HARVARD 2Already faced with a difficult tournament, Harvard found little luck in its opening match. The Crimson endured a beating from the eventual champions, as the Blue Jays (5-6) swarmed both ends of the pool. The No. 6 seed proved relentless in transition, scoring the first four goals, including a shorthanded breakaway. Tune was responsible for both of Harvard’s scores and Connolly managed eight saves, but the co-captains could not stop Hopkins’ furious tempo. The Blue Jays built a 9-1 first half lead with several...
