...Harvard’s greatness was reaffirmed in its decision to appoint Lawrence Summers, a brilliant, provocative, and intellectually honest man who could show American universities what a liberal education was all about. The triumph of his Lilliputian adversaries, however, confirms what I had always feared about Harvard, that it is a bubble of self-congratulation and small-mindedness. The ramifications of his ouster will be broad and destructive, as free-thinkers and censors at schools across the country recalculate their positions relative to one another. This is a shameful day for the University...
...Ruggiero, the team’s top defenseman, was the victim of perhaps the most indelible image of frustration for Team USA. In the shootout against Sweden, Ruggiero deked standout keeper Kim Martin but missed an open net on the finish, leading to the Swedes’ eventual upset triumph. But Ruggiero, who finished the week with six points, spoke fondly of earning her third piece of Olympic hardware and her teammates’ efforts. “We are obviously very excited to be bringing home a medal for the United States,” Ruggiero told the press...
...Melissa Anderson, ranked sixth in the nation, came close to pulling an upset against the country’s No. 1 pair of Catrina and Christian Thompson, as the duo led, 6-5, late in the match. The All-American twins came back to tie the match and eventually triumph by a 9-8 margin, winning the tiebreak, 7-5.

Notre Dame won three...
...comrades," one of Brown's predecessors promised to squeeze the rich until they "howl with anguish," and François Mitterrand won the presidency of France on a manifesto red in tooth and claw - are long gone. As Osborne says: "We've all read Adam Smith now." With the triumph of the market revolution, European politics has been reduced to a choice between technocratic solutions to social problems. (How can health-care costs be brought under control? How can the quality of secondary schools be improved?) Just as Cameron, though a Conservative, has positioned himself as Blair's true heir...
...fact, the real triumph of Panic is that the band never lets its technical mastery get in the way of the album's prettiness. The adept rhythm section keeps things mostly understated. The instrumentation gives the album a full sound, but not one that's over the top. And, perhaps most important of all, Young and Sexy don't drag out a song longer than two minutes if it's not necessary. The result is an album that sounds unified and pleasant, but that you could still offer to your piano teacher as proof that not all pop musicians...
