...think we started to panic and get away from the things that had gotten us to that point.”Two weeks and two more losses later, Harvard dropped another agonizing contest in the final minute to the Quakers at the Palestra. The losing streak then reached its ugliest point on the very next night in a 27-point throttling at the hands of Princeton. To keep itself afloat in the Ivies this year, the Crimson will have to prove that it can hang with the big dogs of the Ancient Eight. Doing so would reverse a long running...
...altercation was only the latest dustup in what has become both the ugliest, and perhaps most critical, Senate contest in the country. This race was supposed to be a debate about one of the defining issues of the campaign, Iraq - between Allen, a strong defender of the war and once potential 2008 G.O.P. presidential nominee, and Webb, the former Navy secretary who became a Democrat in part because of his objections to the war. The race, which is now effectively tied after Allen had been leading slightly, could determine which party controls the Senate next year...

Good enough for $2.5 million and 15 minutes of syndicated fame, but a book deal seems like a stretch...
...Harvard has not been a stranger to some of the ugliest fallout of the war on terror, as we lose liberties and gain bigotry. Some students can count on the Harvard bubble to shelter them, while others cannot. Assaults on Muslims, Arabs, and South Asians have quadrupled nationwide since Sept. 11, according to the FBI. And that violence has recently reared its head on campus, from last November’s assault on Huma Farid ’06 to an April harassment of an anonymous South Asian student amid a torrent of racial slurs. This violence strikes...
