...heels of a more relaxed spring break. “The spring break training trip to Florida was great for us,” Hazlett said. “It was nice to get out and play in the sun, but it’s always kind of a shock coming back.” The training seems to have made a positive impact, as Harvard finds itself quite short on time. The Columbia-hosted Roar-ee Invitational marks the only other competitive play for the Crimson before the Ivy League championships in two weeks. Despite this short introduction...
...towards resolving the crisis all seem to indicate Mugabe is playing for time. So, too, do reports quoting diplomats in Harare as saying that Mugabe may issue a presidential decree delaying a run-off between him and Tsvangirai for 90 days. More time would allow Mugabe to mobilize his shock troops-the so-called "veterans" who overran white-owned farms in the late 1990s and early years of this century...
Steady drizzle and temperatures hovering around 40 degrees are nothing new to O’Donnell Field in April. But a one-win season and, so far, cellar-dweller status in the Ivy League have been quite a shock to the perennially-contending Harvard baseball team. The Crimson (1-18, 0-4 Ivy) continued its woeful season at the plate and watched suddenly hot Columbia (9-16, 5-1) thrive in wet, frigid weather yesterday. The Lions swept the doubleheader, taking the first game, 2-0, behind a complete game shutout from Joe Scarlata, and hitting their...

In these moments, the shock of the old is that he and Richards--and guitarist Ron Wood and drummer Charlie Watts--make it sound...
...thousands of sports fans who don’t fit this pigeonholing description alienates readers like me. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Leitch addresses this audience in a hopelessly juvenile style. The jokes are lame, the asides irrelevant, the word choice beyond bizarre. (I still can’t get over my shock at seeing the word “anal-raping” in print. See? Shocking.) Leitch’s personal anecdotes are at once amusingly self-deprecating and annoyingly self-aggrandizing. And call me a prude, but when Leitch writes of Mark McGwire and Barry Bonds that...
