...game losing streak yesterday against Boston University (9-9, 2-2 America East) as the Terriers came out on top 2-0. “I think BU is a very strong team,” coach Sue Caples said. “I thought we had a really solid performance today. We need to continue to find more ways to attack and be more creative in our attack getting into the circle.” After losing to Princeton last weekend 5-0, it was imperative for the Crimson to make a good showing in this midweek game...
...comics, Damiano's film was a grail: a Buttofuoco- or Lewinsky-like solid laugh line. "This is kinda strange country, isn't it?" asked Johnny Carson at the time when the movie was challenging Watergate as the topic du jour.

Out from the smoke came Nick Lampson, a moderate Democrat who had been drawn out of his old neighboring congressional...
...party has an edge over Livni's Kadima party. But Livni's advisers say that her refusal to give in to the "extortionate" demands of Shas and the other fringe parties could sway voters to her side. For years, Israel's big political parties have been unable to win solid majorities and, as a result, have found themselves at the mercy of the smaller parties' whims.
