...John Kerry spent so muchof his advertising budget on broadcast-television warhorses like Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune that he at least deserved a wardrobe courtesy of Botany 500. George W. Bush threw millions at TV too (he favored Cops and JAG), but his ads also appeared on cable, talk radio, blogs, the Internet and, in several cases, closed-circuit televisions above health-club treadmills.

The Crimson gave up a buzzer-beater to Brown at home, got pummeled by Dartmouth in the Ivy opener and the Ivy Finale, threw a game away against the Tigers and came out sluggish against Penn twice. Only two times did Harvard sweep an Ivy weekend, a rare up-and-down for any Delaney-Smith-coached team.But each time, a group of four freshmen earned valuable minutes against the Ivy League’s best.
