...head-to-head matchup, I’m convinced that the only remaining team that would definitely beat the Crimson is Furman. Montana might also be a slight favorite depending on the location of the game. But Harvard would be favored over the four Atlantic 10 schools left in the tournament—James Madison, Delaware, William and Mary and New Hampshire—as well as Eastern Washington. The Crimson wouldn’t have faced Montana in either of the first two rounds (due to the lack of proximity of the two schools) and likely wouldn?...
RadioShack saw a 15 percent decline from last Thanksgiving throughout the local sales district, he said. But the Harvard Square store actually saw a slight improvement of $5,000 more sales Friday in comparison to the day after Thanksgiving...
...known, is celebrated for a particularly devilish delivery known as the doosra, which has a deceptive spin that most batsmen aren't aware of until it's too late.

...Slight in stature but blessed with the sweetest of moves, The Guy Who Can Swing Dance turns on the charm. The ladies love him.  Damn him! Not one of his steps is out of step, and the whole room knows it. He floats around the dance floor with partner in tow like a sexual butterfly. There he is, spinning and winning all the girls. I would kick his ass if it wasn’t for the huge man-crush I have at the moment. I watch The Guy Who Can Swing Dance and wish I had chosen...
