EASTON, Penn.—A new-look team took the field Saturday at Lafayette. A team that had seven turnovers and was lucky to escape 1-1 in its first two games of the season turned things around with a solid, turnover-free performance that included its most balanced attack of the year. The bulk of the turnaround came from Harvard’s ability to protect and possess the football. After an abysmal deficit in possession time last weekend against Brown, the Crimson seemed to move the ball at will, holding the football for over nine minutes...
Harvard women’s soccer was firing on all cylinders Saturday against Yale, riding a balanced offensive attack and a complete game effort to a 3-1 victory and its first Ivy League win of the season.“We knew this was a big game for us,” sophomore forward Katherine Sheeleigh said. “We came in the night before the game, we knew we had to bring it, [and] we brought it for all 90 minutes.

And this is not to mention that with the division between Shi'ites and Sunnis widening, the Alawites will feel they need Iran and its message of belligerence to Israel more than ever. So if, for instance, Iran suggests that Syria respond to Saturday's bombing by shipping more weapons to Hizballah, Syria will be inclined to agree. Having been embraced as honorary Shi'ites by Tehran, a regime whose survival depends on its maintaining some sort of Islamic credentials, in the face of accusations of heresy and apostasy, needs its relationship with Tehran...
