...defeat against Cornell, before finally notching an Ivy win later that day. The success quickly spread, as Harvard proceeded to reel off nine more wins. The Crimson used the 10-game winning streak to jump-start a 17-5 record over its final 22 regular season games, an impressive stretch that included sweeps of Columbia, Penn, Holy Cross, and Yale. Harvard hit a collective .297, good enough for second in the Ivy League. Leading the way for the Crimson was freshman Ellen Macadam, who hit at a .371 clip. The rookie also found success on the base paths. Macadam stole...
...notoriously tricky course. Harvard won the tournament by three shots over Skidmore, and host Yale nestled into a disappointing seventh place. The victory was the first for Crimson coach Jim Burke and certainly the capstone of an otherwise less-than-stellar season. “I thought down the stretch we played tremendously well—even par on the last three holes, and it probably won us the tournament,” sophomore Greg Shuman said. “When you perform that well under pressure, it’s a thing to see.” The team...
...Road Ahead Alongside road 4, the 143-mile (230 km) ribbon of asphalt connecting Sihanoukville and Phnom Penh, water buffalo graze in rice paddies that stretch from horizon to horizon. Kids in white school uniforms pedal their bikes in the dirt, moving alongside traffic like birds riding on air currents.

Neither tourism nor oil alone can drive the national economy in a meaningful way. There must also be investment in agriculture and other sectors that...
...after they moved up their primaries in defiance of the party's rules. Clinton's rhetorical war on behalf of the two states has grown increasingly heated, as she has likened the dispute to the 2000 Florida recount, the 1960s fight for civil rights - and, in an even bigger stretch, the election standoff in Zimbabwe. But the meeting is Clinton's last remaining glimmer of hope to catch Obama, who currently leads the race by around 160 pledged delegates, with only three primaries remaining, in Puerto Rico, Montana and South Dakota...
...most impressive part of his engine is an unmatched second gear. In the Preakness, he hung with leaders until the far turn. Then, with little prodding from Desormeaux, he glided past everyone down the stretch. "It's very unusual to have a horse who can do that," says Hall of Fame trainer Carl Nafzger. "He doesn't really hit overdrive; he just moves away." Big Brown's knack for controlling a race has Nafzger comparing the laid-back colt to Seattle Slew, the legendary horse who won the Triple Crown in 1977. No one saw this coming; Big Brown sold...
