...Colgate. After senior goaltender Ali Boe left the ice, sophomore Lindsey Weaver put a slapshot on net, and the puck eventually ended up on the stick of Raimondi on the right side. After a quick fake, Raimondi lifted the puck up and over the glove of Raider goalie Brook Wheeler for the second Harvard goal of the night. “We were moving our feet all over the ice,” Raimondi said. “We were playing hustle, Harvard hockey. When you work hard, you get some luck...

"Teachers are so frightened of these subjects that they transmit the fear to the children," says former Merck...
...federal No Child Left Behind law. U.S. elementary school kids spend an average of just 16 minutes a day on science, and that's dwindling to zero in many schools. "Teachers have reported to us that their principals have walked into their classrooms and said, 'Stop teaching science,'" says Wheeler. Even teachers who are eager and equipped often face daunting curricular goals--U.S. science texts usually cover many more topics than international ones do.
