The team also secured the No. 66 spot in the ITA national rankings.“Definitely a bunch of things [caused the comeback],” captain Laura Peterzan said. “Good incoming freshmen, good coaching, everyone stepping up and pulling their own weight...everything was better.”One reason the Crimson bolted to the top of the standings was Harvard’s development of a devastating doubles lineup.

It's how much weight to give those interests, relative to the costs of supporting Pyongyang internationally, that vexes Beijing's leadership. Just as there have been tensions in Washington over how to handle the North - during the Bush Administration, those favoring a harder line prevailed at first, before the State Department's "negotiate now, negotiate forever" camp took over - so, too, are there conflicting opinions in Beijing over what to do. As described by a diplomatic source...
