...obviously bodes well for Harvard. Nevertheless, the Crimson enters the Dartmouth game riddled with injuries. Quarterback Neil Rose is doubtful to play with a banged-up shoulder. Starting running back Josh Staph is likely out with an ankle injury, and backup tailback Nick Palazzo will not play with a sore hamstring...
...will defend Clemens, pointing to the hamstring injury that suddenly flared up as soon as Oakland starting wailing on him in Game One of the ALDS. Who knows, maybe Roger actually was playing hurt.

Ever since, Gore has been cast in the role of sore loser whose congressional support could evaporate in an instant, a supplicant trying to win in court what he didn't win at the ballot box. And every day the media persist in calling the race anew. A reporter will read the latest polls showing that a majority of the American people...
