As the book hits stores, the world's most famous Kabbalah practitioner is fending off rumors of a pending split from husband Guy Ritchie and of an alleged affair with New York Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez, whom she reputedly "brainwashed," causing the dissolution of his marriage.

Dartmouth lefty slugger Santomauro wasted no time getting the Big Green on the board in the nightcap, showing opposite-field power with a two-run shot to left-center in the first. Dartmouth added single runs in the third, fourth, and fifth innings, running the score to 5-0 before Big Green coach...
