Nine colleges have offered Sarah Simon, of Wellesley, Mass., a spot in their class of 2012: Brown, Cornell, Dartmouth, Duke, Princeton, Stanford, University of Chicago, Vassar and Williams. But she's a dancer--ballet six times a week, modern twice, jazz once--and Columbia University in New York City would give her access not only to an exceptional ballet program at its sister school Barnard but also to the epicenter of the dance world. Unfortunately, Columbia has put her on the waitlist. Though she's not whining about her wealth of options, Simon, a senior at Noble and Greenough School...
...sold more than 5.3 million copies in the U.S., 4 million in the past 12 months alone. They've spent a combined 143 weeks on the New York Times best-seller list; when Eclipse was released last August, it bumped the final Harry Potter book out of the top spot on some lists even though it came out only 2 1/2 weeks later. Her first nonvampire novel, The Host, will be published next month. A movie of Twilight will be in theaters this December...
...Year candidate in lefty senior Russell Young (3.38 ERA) and a five-game winner in senior Chase Carpenter, and Harvard will need to work counts and put men on base to break the two aces’ rhythms. Matt Kramer, who has settled nicely into the cleanup spot in the Crimson lineup—going 9-for-16 with 6 RBI over the last five games—will need to continue his hot streak and bring those runners home...
...Green opponent. Like the team overall, he finished undefeated in league play at the No. 2 singles position. His only in-conference loss was against Columbia, when he played at the top singles slot. Freshmen Alexei Chijoff-Evans and Aba Omodele-Lucien, playing at the fourth and fifth singles spots respectively, continued their strong play as they finish their freshman campaigns. Chijoff-Evans won 6-2, 7-6, while Omodele-Lucien also rolled in straight sets, 6-3, 6-3. Rounding out singles play at the top spot was senior Ashwin Kumar, who defeated his opponent...
...airing the ads in North Carolina, the site of an upcoming Democratic primary, Brown appears to be playing for national media attention. The initial spot also consciously mimics the themes from one of the most famous, and controversial, attack ads in modern political history, the Willie Horton ad. That spot, which was also funded outside a campaign, blamed Michael Dukakis, the 1988 Democratic nominee, for the weekend furlough that allowed a convicted felon to commit another rape. At the time, domestic crime was a major national issue, though it has not registered as a significant concern in public opinion polls...
