...rejuvenated Crimson squad gutted out a gritty victory, sparked by the late-inning heroics that have been the trademark of Harvard’s victories this season. Captain Harry Douglas tripled home two runs in the top of the 10th and senior Tom Stack-Babich pitched 2 1/3 innings of shutout relief to give Harvard a 6-4 win in Game 2.“After the first game we wanted to show that we were going to play with some heart,” Douglas said. “We wanted to come out hard...

The Big Green took the contest 11-5, clinching the Rolfe Division crown.But in the nightcap, Hulse helped the Crimson end the league schedule on a good note.“It’s a respect thing,” senior outfielder Tom Stack-Babich said of the win. “It’s about getting a little pride.”HARVARD 4, DARTMOUTH 3Having already earned its spot in next week’s Ivy League Championship series, the Big Green could afford to rest some of its regulars...

...past research found no such link, according to Stack's study. He explains that the studies that were able to find associations were those that tended to involve celebrity death or heavy media coverage - factors that, unsurprisingly, tend to co-occur. "The stories that are most likely to have an impact are ones that concern entertainment and political celebrities. Coverage of these suicides is 5.2 times more likely to produce a copycat effect than coverage of ordinary people's suicides," Stack says. In the month after Marilyn Monroe's death, for example, the suicide rate in the U.S. rose...
...Stack also conducted the only study to examine whether murder-suicide (as opposed to suicide alone) is associated with copycat crimes. That study, published 20 years ago, analyzed the impact of media coverage of mass murders and murder-suicides between 1968 and 1980. The study found no associated increase in homicide rates, but did note an uptick in suicide after well-publicized events. "There was a significant increase in national monthly suicide rates," he said, "It is a fairly substantial association and was independent of major control variables like the unemployment rate...
