...first day of play at the season-opening Dartmouth Invitational, the Harvard women’s golf team found itself in the unfamiliar and unpleasant position of third place. However, a strong Sunday allowed the Crimson to take victory in the tournament for the third year in a row. In the end, it was comfortable for Harvard (314-302-616), as the team led the second round by 15 strokes, easily moving ahead of Ancient Eight rivals Dartmouth and Brown. The Crimson went into Hanover as the favorites in the 17-team field. Coming off of its first-ever...
...Throughout the evening, Palin's daughter Bristol and Bristol's fiancé Levi sat in the front row, the focus of a thousand cameras and 40 million attitudes, holding hands, hanging tough, thinking Lord knows what as they face a trial that nothing in their short lives could have prepared them for. With the whole family gathered onstage when Palin finished, she held baby Trig in her arms and you felt the shattered glass raining gently down.

Fukuda became the second Japanese prime minister in a row to throw in the towel with under a year in office (Shinzo Abe did the same last year) and the third to do so without holding a general election.

But Fukuda was quitting for the sake of his organization, the Liberal Democratic Party - and he may have a strategy in mind...
...Across the row from the State Fair livestock pavilion - with its champion pigs, giant cabbage and 900-lb. pumpkins - Eddie Grasser mans an NRA booth. Palin is a lifetime NRA member - a demographic that has not been particularly high on John McCain - and Grasser couldn't be more excited about the governor he calls Sarah. Like Grasser, everyone here seems to be on a first name basis with their politicians. "It's just one of those things about Alaska politics," says Grasser. So Governor Palin is Sarah, the irascible (and currently indicted) Senator Stevens is Uncle Ted, and even Representative...
...Time, committing weekly journalism instead of writing essays and books, Manny said he thought my Time stuff was better, freer and more concentrated. I suspect his comments on Agee and me spoke to an admiration for workmanlike salaried labor, whether done by carpenters, bottom-rung gangsters, tanktown vaudevillians, Poverty Row directors or movie critics. To him, Agee's and my "little magazine" essays were white elephants, our Time stories termites...
