...Crimson’s final contest of the season, Harvard steamrolled to a win against the Knights (3-13, 1-6) on Sunday morning. Junior co-captain Bret Voith netted a game-high four goals, and also stepped up on the defensive end with five steals. A number of Crimson competitors chipped in to support Voith’s effort, including rookie Max Eliot and Lee, with a hat trick and pair of goals, respectively...
...While the word was merely whispered in the hours following Hasan's rampage, Senator Joe Lieberman, who chairs the Homeland Security Committee, made it close to explicit on Fox News on Sunday. He didn't call Hasan a terrorist, but Lieberman suggested the psychiatrist became "an Islamic extremist" while in the Army and should have been weeded out of the ranks.

At Fort Hood on Sunday, at least there was one sign that the military's embrace of its Muslim soldiers would continue undeterred. At the 1st Cavalry Memorial Chapel, Colonel Frank Jackson asked the congregation to pray for the 13 dead and 29 wounded in Hasan's rampage. The chaplain also asked the worshippers to pray for Hasan...
...private insurers in order to help keep down costs - a provision that Republicans have criticized as the first step to socialized medicine, and several key Democrats are wary of. Citing his concerns for the impact on the federal deficit, Senator Joe Lieberman of Connecticut told Fox News on Sunday that "if the public-option plan is in there, as a matter of conscience," he would not support the bill. The Senate is waiting on a Congressional Budget Office cost estimate this week before they bring up the bill. Reid's office is hoping to start floor debate as early...
