...Truck bombs, not hijacked planes, were the subject of an April 8th NYPD vulnerability report that caused developers and politicians, already under fire for rising costs and construction delays, to announce that they would have to reinforce the slender structure or move it further from the street.

Penn is fast pulling away from the rest of the league—its record stands at 5-0 after a wild comeback win over Princeton—meaning that Harvard has to run the table, and then get help, in order to entertain any notions of playing for a championship on March 5th at the Palestra...
