Take gender out of the equation for a second. Who would you rather watch play? The No. 6 team in the country which has a legitimate chance at progressing far into the NCAA Tournament and possibly even winning a national championship or a sub-.500 team that lost its national ranking early on in the season? A team boasting three of the top six scorers in its league, or a team that doesn’t even have one player cracking...
Your editorial titled “Less Scroogerly College Loans” (Jan. 22), gives the impression that Congress passed a law lowering the interest rate for student loans.

The band’s website claims that these sounds were made using a vintage vocoder and Paul McCartney’s tape machine from “McCartney...
