Against Princeton, Harvard kept the game close early. Late in the first half, the Crimson trailed by a slim 3-2 margin, powered by goals from senior Liz Schoyer and freshman Ashley Birch...
...watching, but whose part verges on the supporting, and whose chances to make out with Ralph Fiennes are probably reward enough. Keaton has the advantage of exposure in the hit First Wives Club, but Marvin's Room has been seen by so few people that her chances are slim. Watson was the critics' darling of the year, but it's hard to imagine, say, Lauren Bacall voting for a character who gives hand jobs to strangers on a bus.

Like Lott, Taft was a staunch conservative who forcefully stated his views and didn't compromise on matters of principle--but who also worked to achieve the best deal available. "You can't usually get 100% of what you want in politics," Lott says. "But if you can get 80%, or most of what you want, that's usually...
