...during Harvard’s 30-24 win over Yale last year. The extra-minutes thriller was one of the most memorable renditions of The Game in recent history.Things happening “too fast” for Berg are a rarity. Usually, as was the case on the trifecta against the Big Green, he’s a step ahead of everyone else. And despite the Crimson’s long and storied history of defensive front dominance, that’s the case with regards to the best that have ever played at Harvard at the position...

It's the terrorists' trifecta and the scary spine of Ron Suskind's new book, The One Percent Doctrine: Deep Inside America's Pursuit of Its Enemies Since 9/11 (being released Tuesday by Simon and Schuster). The clear implication: It seems the Bush administration truncated its post-9/11 war against the Taliban...
When is a Senate racemore than just a Senate race? When Democrats think they can score a trifecta by beating a Republican incumbent in the South, hobbling him as a possible presidential candidate and boosting the fortunes of one of their White House wannabes. That's the weighty challenge for novice politician Jim Webb, a decorated Vietnam vet and a senior Pentagon official under Ronald Reagan who is challenging Republican Senator George Allen in Virginia...
