...business as usual for Harvard’s D-line Saturday, as the nation’s best rushing and sack defense picked up seven sacks and gave up just 67 net yards on the ground. They came against a Cornell squad that had given up just a single sack entering the game, best in the nation...
...just a few pennies: a large pinch of salt and a fistful of sugar dissolved in a jug of clean water, the simplest recipe for oral rehydration solution. "To save the life of a person with diarrhea is probably the cheapest health intervention you can think of," says David Sack, an American doctor who is the ICDDR's executive director. Cheap; but nothing like as commonly available as it should be. Oral rehydration has saved the lives of more than 40 million children since it was first put to the test during a cholera outbreak among refugees on India...
...only 69% of the expected weight for his age and is malnourished. He has a high fever, a cough and persistent diarrhea. His parents, Jurin and Nazdin, educated Dhaka residents, wait anxiously as he receives intravenous fluids. "We don't understand where this is coming from," says Nazdin.

The line looked flat in the first quarter, letting defenders through and forcing junior quarterback Chris Pizzotti out of the pocket. Having allowed a single sack in two games entering the weekend—when quarterback Jeff Witt fell down against Brown—the squad yielded three on Saturday in addition to a number of hits and hurries on Pizzotti. It ran into similar problems while creating space for Dawson. The lack of protection...
