...South Carolina, clarified the field--not just which candidates should be taken seriously but also how the serious candidates are likely to relate to one another. I thought Mitt Romney won the first debate because he was smooth and lost the second because he was slick. Rudy Giuliani won the second because he seemed forceful, after appearing uncertain in the first. John McCain was a presence in both--a mostly honorable presence, I might...

...Ivies with a .298 team batting average as of April 17. “They might be a little deeper with the sticks than us,” Walsh said. Harvard will look to counteract the Bears’ bats with it’s hard-throwing arms and slick-fielding defense. The Crimson staff’s 3.99 combined ERA entering yesterday’s game leasd the conference. “I’m not scared of anyone with our team,” Byrne said. “I’m confident with the team...
