...gave up six earned runs. Though he struggled in the outing, Strangio has impressed his coach this preseason. “He’s come on like gangbusters,” Walsh says. “He’s 87, 88 with the fastball, throwing it for strikes. He’s got a nice little splitfinger pitch.”Strangio is one of a handful of Harvard pitchers competing for the fourth spot in the starting rotation. Though the sophomore appears to be the frontrunner, the slot is still up for grabs. Before the Ivy League...
...Krahel: This University will try and squelch dissent. As somebody who was involved in the hunger strike, I know. They tried to kick us out of Harvard for doing the hunger strike.

...Those who fear a missile strike on the American mainland from North Korea or Iran - not that either is anywhere close to achieving such capability - the investment in a missile shield, even one whose efficacy is far from clearly established, may seem worthwhile. To those who believe the more salient and insidious threats are those of the type we experienced on 9/11, this shield against a handful of rogue missiles represents an unfortunate diversion of funds that could be used far more effectively to defend...
