...said Caputo, referring to the contest with Lehigh. “We picked it up, wrestled tougher, and took advantage of some better pairings against Army.”NO. 8 LEHIGH 38, HARVARD 3O’Connor logged the only victory against Lehigh, as the Crimson fell victim to six ranked opponents in Bethlehem, Penn. Two falls against Harvard freshmen Sean Murphy (197) and Johnny Motley (141) as well as two major decisions exposed a difficult return to the mat for the Crimson. Even 7th-ranked Caputo (19-4) dropped a frustrating bout, watching victory slip away...
...there's nobody particularly likable in the mix here. The legal eagles of Scully & Pershing are cynical and joyless. The members of the mysterious organization are villainous to the point of cliché. (They have hairy hands and thin lips and slight accents - those bastards!)

Like Wallace, Woolard, whose rap handle is Gravy, has been the victim of gunfire. And last weekend, at a Greensboro, N.C., theater where he attended a Notorious premiere, a member of the audience was shot, taken to a nearby hospital, treated and released...
...That's probably why he was killed. "We are looking into every possible motive, but the main one is linked to the profession of the victim," said Anatoly Bagmet, the head of the Moscow bureau of the Federal Investigative Committee...
