Taken separately, the two stories on the front page of the Times of India last Monday at first seem like so much fluff. There was the long-anticipated news that actress and former Miss World Aishwarya Rai and Bollywood actor Abhishek Bachchan will soon tie the knot. Below it, jostling for space with a piece about the Soduku craze sweeping India, was the revelation from a new biography that the father of the nation, Mahatma Gandhi, conducted some sort of love affair with Saraladevi Chaudhuri, the married niece of acclaimed Bengali poet and philosopher Rabindranath Tagore...
...hockey team did not on Friday night in a matchup that could have decided the regular season ECAC crown two months before the end of the season.But the Crimson found its offense from its veteran forwards and fought the Big Green all night, earning a 2-2 tie when the final buzzer sounded and many of the players ran off to study for their upcoming finals.Harvard (14-3-2, 11-2-1 ECAC) earned the tie by fending off 24 shots from Dartmouth (14-3-2, 12-1-1) in the final period and overtime.

...back-and-forth game that featured seven ties and 11 lead changes in the second half, the Harvard men’s basketball team used some strong offensive performances down the stretch to take its Ivy League home opener over Dartmouth, 77-71, at Lavietes Pavilion. Senior center Brian Cusworth, one of six Crimson players in double figures, scored a team-high 20 points and grabbed a career-high 17 rebounds as Harvard (8-8, 1-1 Ivy) avenged an 80-73 loss in Hanover last Saturday.

...Green have a way not just of bringing out the most, in terms of Harvard’s fans, but the best, in terms of Harvard’s performance. That was certainly the case on Friday night, when the two squads skated to a thrilling 2-2 tie, maintaining No. 4 Dartmouth atop the ECAC standings, but in the end establishing both teams as legitimate national title contenders and re-affirming the matchup as one of the sport’s premier rivalries. The pairing suffered a bit of a downturn in 2005-06, if the attendance number from...
...There's plenty of canon fodder on the lists. Zane, who's the books editor at the Raleigh News & Observer, has done a statistical breakdown of the results, so we know, for example, that Shakespeare is the most-represented author (followed by Faulkner, who ties with Henry James; they're followed by a five-way tie, which you can read about for yourself). But I'm more interested in the dark horses, the statistical outliers, which lay bare the secret fetishes and perversions of the literati. Douglas Coupland puts Capote's unfinished Answered Prayers at number one, blowing right...
