Special teams are a segment of the game that is often ignored by the casual observer until something goes horribly wrong. Saturday at Harvard Stadium, special teams took center stage in Harvard’s 27-24 loss to Princeton (4-2, 2-1 Ivy), a defeat that essentially dashed the Crimson’s (3-3, 1-2) hopes of a 2005 Ivy League title.After Harvard took a 24-20 lead with 7:21 to play, Tigers cornerback Jay McCareins broke the ensuing kickoff return for a 93-yard touchdown, which would prove to be the difference. But that...
...play with little Sarah next door; she's five, and she doesn't have her verb tenses down yet. No, no, no; wait until her grammar starts improving." But for some reason, if you put that same little girl in a book in first person, there are a certain segment of people who think that literature and fictional literature must be instructional.

...Primetime Live aired a segment charging the Food Lion supermarket chain with the kind of bad housekeeping that would cause Martha Stewart to faint. Armed with hidden cameras, PrimeTime producers posing as food handlers infiltrated several Food Lion stores to expose alleged wrongdoings, including repackaging old chicken with cosmetically enhancing barbecue sauce and falsifying expiration dates.

Although Food Lion has publicly contended that the segment was deceptive--certain footage was staged and misleadingly edited, it says--it was unable to file a libel suit before the statute of limitations expired. Instead, the company is challenging the ways in which PrimeTime obtained its information. The jury has already awarded the chain $1,402 in damages as partial payment for training costs and wages doled out to PrimeTime's faux workers. The punitive-damage award could be in the millions...
...campus, I have been dumbstruck by a spate of opinions that smack of the one thing that each of us probably swore we would never exhibit: old-school snobbery. That’s right, snobbery: the unwarranted and self-congratulatory intellectual snobbery that tries to castigate an entire segment of the student body—athletes, for example—as unworthy and unnecessary to student life, and the snobbery that suggests we are all too important to be bothered with the foolish plebeians who see fit to visit our campus. This sort of snobbery is also evident at Harvard...
