...Harvard men’s basketball team watched an 11-point lead at intermission evaporate and fell to Lehigh, 70-61, Saturday in Bethlehem, Pa. “[It was] a total team defense collapse on our part,” junior guard Drew Housman said of the second half. The Crimson (4-6) suffered on the glass against the Mountain Hawks (5-5), who snagged 13 offensive boards to the Crimson’s four and held the overall rebounding edge, 34-25. Lehigh forward Bryan White posted a game-high 10 rebounds. Additionally, Lehigh enjoyed extra time...
...case to be No. 1 in the land. After a Crimson win and a loss by No. 1 New Hampshire the night before, Harvard (11-0-0, 9-0-0 ECAC) skated past Providence (6-8-2, 4-2-1 Hockey East) by a 4-1 count on Saturday night in Providence, R.I. The triumph extended the squad’s perfect season-opening string to 11 games, matching a run by the Crimson’s 2003-04 team. Tri-captain Caitlin Cahow, juniors Sarah Vaillancourt and Jenny Brine, and freshman Liza Ryabkina all scored as Harvard pushed...

...first person to arrive outside Des Moines' HyVee Center on Saturday morning - a mere seven hours before Oprah Winfrey would take the stage - was Heather Spurlin. Dressed for a long wait in snowy 12-degree weather, Spurlin, 37, is exactly the kind of person Barack Obama hoped Oprah would draw: a woman voter who knows what she's doing every day at 4pm, but isn't sure whom she'll support on Jan. 3. "Oprah's so personable and funny," said Spurlin, who's never caucused before but participated in an Obama campaign training session in order...
...Other than a bit of campaign sniping between America's two most influential women - Clinton, in Des Moines on Friday: "Change is just a word if you don't have the experience to back it up"; Winfrey, defending Obama Saturday: "We recognize that the amount of time you spend in Washington means nothing unless you're accountable for the judgments you made at the time you had them" - the weekend was gentle and apolitical. Winfrey tried to motivate the HyVee crowd, but she didn't talk policy so much as treat Obama like a favorite book; she raved about...
