...freshman Emma Moretzsohn, the Ivies’ tallest player, keyed 22 points in a loss to Big East opponent Providence on Dec. 21. Delaney-Smith’s hand has been forced to give the underclassmen big minutes due to a combination of team underperformance and, more damningly, a spate of crushing injuries. Co-captain Jessica Holsey has missed action with a broken hand since Dec. 7. Her cast has been removed, and she has returned to practice, but Delaney-Smith maintains that Holsey’s status will remain day-to-day. She was mum on whether Holsey would...
...what exactly are companies doing wrong? After a spate of antidiscrimination lawsuits in the 1960s and '70s, corporations initiated minority-hiring programs that have resulted in remarkably integrated workplaces. Many large companies sponsor affinity groups and provide tools to help minorities and women navigate their careers. But few minority women make it into the highest ranks--held back, some say, by unique challenges. According to the 1,000 minority women executives interviewed for the study (some of whom TIME spoke with for this article, along with others who did not participate), most corporations don't yet understand those women...
...saving it for a rainy day. Soon after the choice of Alito was announced, the organization Progress for America launched a $425,000 one-week media campaign in support of the nominee.

...each of the first two games, he carried the ball over 30 times for more than 150 yards, including three touchdowns in a win over Brown. It was in the game against the Bears, though, that Dawson was first hindered by an injury, leaving the field for a spate in the first quarter with a slight hip bruise.It was the start of a downward trend. The next week against Lehigh, Dawson was held to 59 yards on 15 carries as the Mountain Hawks stacked the box to contain him. He missed much of the first and fourth quarters, and after...
...most consistently competitive programs in Division 1-AA. Or alternatively an overabundance of football insight, the shared realization that this year’s incarnation should suffer from the graduation of its superstar quarterback, several key starters on defense, and its top special-teamer. Plus the spate of injuries, the hyper-informed fan might deduce, on both sides of the ball and the unhealthy dependence on the tailback would hamper the Crimson’s chances in 2005. In this confusion, I decided to poll a random sampling of the freshman class, the nubile, the predominantly uninitiated, presumably possessing...
