But last week, Ahmadinejad stunned diplomats with the sort of outburst expected from a terrorist, not a President.

To come up short so many times has been really hard on us, especially because we’ve been playing well. It makes it hard to be so close.” One final contest remains...
...defense, however, is leaps and bounds better than that of Harvard and Brown. Whereas Princeton matched the latter two squads yard-for-yard, the same probably won’t happen against the Big Red. Cornell won’t be able to pull off the road upset, but keeping it within nine isn’t too much to ask.—Staff writer Michael R. James can be reached at mrjames@fas.harvard.edu...
