...Grimm, Rousmaniere, and, in particular, Alex Chi.But as in the last few games for Harvard, everything started from the back. “Brown are always going to challenge you physically and put balls in the air in the box, and Luke Sager, Kwaku, and the entire back four stood strong and didn’t give them anything easy,” Clark said.The manner of the win underlined the message that the Crimson was trying to send the team that ruined its season a year ago, and Harvard will now look to build off the result...

McCain suggests that Obama is risky because he never takes any risks. When has he ever stood up to his own party? McCain asks. "What has this man ever actually accomplished in government?" The questions are legitimate because we know there are times when a President has to gamble, and yet we know very little about Obama's appetite for it. When George H.W. Bush marshaled dozens of allies to push Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait, when Ronald Reagan stared down the Soviets with intermediate-range missiles, when F.D.R. went off on a Caribbean cruise and dreamed up the lend...
