...Ivies in blocks and offensive rebounding thanks mainly to Cusworth, will experience a major lack of big stops and free lay-ups over the coming weeks. And on top of this, even with Cusworth, the Crimson is last in the league in field goal percentage defense, allowing teams to shoot at a .486 clip...
...break layup gave Harvard a 24-13 lead and forced a Yale timeout as the Harvard bench jumped to its feet in celebration. But the team effort dried up almost immediately. Harvard was outscored 75-54 the rest of the way, with its matador-like defense allowing Yale to shoot 62 percent in the first half and 58 percent on the game. Brian Cusworth, whose 28-point, 10-rebound double-double was the sole bright spot in an otherwise abysmal Harvard showing, said the lack of support from the crowd may have helped contribute to the team?...

"The Chinese understand how dependent the Americans are on these spy satellites," says John Pike, a satellite expert with GlobalSecurity.org. "And they understand how easy it is to shoot them down." A strike against intelligence-gathering satellites, he theorizes, would likely be China's first move in any military action against Taiwan. "If the Chinese are to have any hope of grabbing Taiwan while nobody is looking, they have to win quickly," Pike says. "They have to present the Americans with...
