In the trading day before the rate cut, Hong Kong's Hang Seng had declined 8%, Tokyo's Nikkei 5.7% and Mumbai's Sensex 12 percent...

But starting 68 seconds after the opening kickoff, Harvard turned it into a rout for the ages. Leaving the Yale Bowl, two things were undeniably evident: Yale sucks and Harvard reigns supreme. On the field, Harvard put on a clinic that demonstrated our superiority in every element of the game.
