...Crimson would open the scoring just 1:08 into the contest and build up a 27-0 lead by halftime. As the final whistle blew on a 37-6 Crimson victory and another Ivy title for Harvard’s Class of 2008, the fans jumped over the (much shorter!) Yale Bowl walls to celebrate. They may not have been celebrating a national championship, but you would be hard-pressed to find a more jubilant crowd anywhere in the country. For the Class of 2008, there could be little more satisfying...

("If we're insane," says Amy Ryan as a prostitute subjected to electroshock therapy for her outspokenness, "nobody has to listen to us.") Her only ally...
...veterans on legislation. He's voted for veterans funding bills only 30% of the time, according to a scorecard of roll-call votes put out by the nonpartisan Disabled Americans for America. Under the same system Obama has a 90% rating - though, of course, he has spent a much shorter time in Washington. "Senator McCain clearly needs to be recognized for his military service and in some respects that will play to his advantage, but when it actually comes to delivering health care and benefits during war, Senator McCain's going to have some explaining to do," said Paul Sullivan...
