...adventures and skewed them into shadowy misadventures, thus trivializing the man's merits and suggesting that what he ultimately did for his city and country was insignificant and self-serving. The intent to mask the story as a critical essay on loyalty--well, it just didn't make the stretch. Ripping Kerik through Giuliani and Giuliani through Kerik is a trite and wearisome pastime...

...first place in the conference. “It was a great game for the fans,” Harvard coach Katey Stone said. “Dartmouth’s a good team. It was nice to get a win.” The victory capped off a stretch in which the Crimson beat a trio of nationally ranked ECAC programs, consisting of the Big Green, then-No. 3 St. Lawrence, and then-No. 10 Clarkson.

The story of this game will be from 62-62, the Crimson got nothing, being outscored 14-3 down the stretch. This is a young team who put up a great effort though, although this one especially hurts. 47.4: Two free throws from HC, foul on three ball of Lin, three shots, 76-65. Makes 2 of 3, 76-67. Turnover on in bounds, Crimson ball. Housman turnover. Lin foul and bucket from...

All is right with the world, and that’s simply how things seem to work, as long as you hail from inside Route 93.It is less of a stretch than you might think to draw a parallel between these Boston sports powerhouses and the Harvard squad that finally tamed the undefeated Bulldogs.
