...nearly caught up to the Tigers with a strong fourth-quarter performance. This week there would be no late game heroics.Yesterday, the Tigers’ defense kept Crimson’s offensive attack on a tight leash until the final whistle blew; Princeton held Harvard to its lowest point total since its two-goal performance versus Michigan in the season’s opening weekend.“[The Tigers] were effective in implementing their defensive plan,” Crimson coach Erik Farrar said.Harvard was outscored 3-1 in the first period and could not pull even, despite...
...crisis. In January, President Obama inherited an inefficient national-security apparatus that has become accustomed to bloated budgets and continual cost overruns; last year, the Pentagon spent $104.3 billion on weapons procurement alone. This staggering sum, however, represented less than one-fifth of the Defense Department’s total budget of more than $515 billion. Since President Obama has made cutting the massive federal deficit a major priority of his administration, a modest reduction in defense spending is an attractive and intelligent choice. In particular, we look forward to seeing Carter take on several pressing challenges from the defense...

At congressional hearings in November over a proposed bailout bill, there was palpable contempt for the UAW from Alabama Senator Richard Shelby, whose state is home to several transplant automakers. To him, the UAW seemed to consist of a bunch of overpaid featherbedders...
...Another pillar of the budget’s fiscal reforms proposes to eliminate federal subsidies to farmers with sales revenues in excess of $500,000 per year and cap total individual subsidies for farmers at $250,000. Combined with other agricultural subsidy cuts, this would reduce farm subsidy expenditures by about $2 billion annually. This potential savings would be a boon for taxpayers. Furthermore, the inefficient subsidies currently create a price floor—a minimum price above market equilibrium—which artificially inflates prices, hurting American consumers...
