Judging by those very same mathematical ratings, which count only Division I games and which take into account schedule strength and margin of victory, Harvard's schedule is the weakest in the country among the 292 Division I teams...
...gender gap? Women chose Reagan over Mondale by 55% to 45%, while men went for the President by 64% to 36%. From the beginning, Mondale's weakest support was among white males. "The problem was leadership," says Edward Reilly, a Boston-based pollster who did extensive surveys for Mondale. "Mondale became the candidate who kowtowed to special interests. Men thought he was saying to them, 'I'm going to take something away from you, white males, and give it to someone else...
...scientists finally employed an instrument called a coronagraph, which can block out the most blinding light of a star, making a kind of eclipse. With Beta in shadow, Terrile and Smith then attached a special detector to the telescope that picked up the weakest light signals around Beta. The resulting image of an encircling disc looked remarkably similar to our own solar system. Analyzing the configuration of the disc with a computer, they found that some matter may have condensed to form planets...
...film's weakest point, however, lies in the ironies it attempts to convey. The pillars of the community who double as klansmen, the ignorant white businessman who is outsmarted by the uneducated black are characters already made familiar in such portrayals of the South as "To Kill a Mockingbird" and "Roots".

...does not mean perfection so much as it means a better and harder performance than the previous competitor's. For that reason, the order in which gymnasts compete is crucial: coaches send out their lineups of six team members in inverse ratio to their accomplishment. The weakest competitor in a given event goes first, and his score becomes the base with which the rest are compared. If the first scores well and the second a bit better, the judges' scores ratchet up until, finally, the top performer goes out last in hopes of building on a base...
