...Charles Rosenberg, told her, “Knock ’em dead.” She walked to the door alone.While the board members listened to the Radcliffe dean make her case yesterday, a gaggle of reporters and Town Car chauffeurs congregated on Quincy Street in anxious and somewhat less anxious anticipation, respectively.Cuisine Chez Vous delivered sustenance to the board members through a side door, but an employee fended off questions about the meeting inside.“I can’t talk to anyone,” the caterer told a reporter while ferrying trays into Loeb...
...last weekend’s games showed anything, it was how tough the Ivy League’s unique Friday-Saturday schedule can be to road teams on the second night. Of the four games played last Saturday, three of the road teams suffered somewhat surprising losses, while the fourth had to grind out a tough win.

...enjoying every minute of it, which in today's image-driven sports world is also, sadly, somewhat strange. "NBA players are so scared of being viewed in a certain way that they can't be who they want to be," Arenas says. "They put on a mask." Arenas takes it off--just for fun. During the home opener this season, he wore a satin boxing robe for pregame introductions. He reaches out to struggling kids on MySpace and has sponsored a video-game team...
