Ronz (2-2) would have had a shutout, except that freshman third baseman Morgan Brown botched his throw to first base on what should have a routine groundout in the first inning. The misplay allowed the batter, Yale’s Josh Zabar, to move all the way to second, and he later scored on a wild pitch. That put the Bulldogs ahead...
...Second Team All-Ivy honoree Chris Elkins, expected by some to be the lone source of offense on a team that was last in the division last year, has been joined by surprising senior Dave Fortenbaugh (batting .384 with 12 RBI) and freshman Josh Zabar (.342, 11) to form a serviceable middle of the order. Zabar was a teammate of Harvard’s Zak Farkes and Josh Klimkiewicz last year at Cambridge’s BB&N School...
...Cinderella in Rossini's Cenerentola. Bartoli's story, however, is quickly overshadowed and nearly buried by the more colorful personalities that she encounters. After a lazy dialogue between the author and Bartoli, we meet Bartoli's doctor, who speaks "with the enthusiasm of someone who had just glimpsed the Zabar's deli counter for the first time," while looking at Bartoli's oscillating vocal folds through a tube while singing a high F. The introduction of each new personality takes the author on tangents that lead farther and farther from Bartoli. Yet, this was probably exactly what Bartoli wanted...
...cards stand a better chance. Simpler versions of the "stored value" cards are already in use on city subways and buses, where they're called MetroCards.

The merchants so far are enthusiastic. Says Martin Vatage, assistant manager of an Athlete's Foot: "You don't have to sign anything; you don't have to wait to call the credit-card...
Picture a kindergarten of the future as the teacher calls the alphabetical roll: "Armani, Burberry, Cartier, Fendi, Gucci, Hermes . . ." all the way down to ". . . Valentino, Vuitton and Zabar." Instead of superhero lunch boxes, these kids will tote personalized shopping bags. And what about children cursed with parents whose taste in store names is simply too plebeian? On Geraldo, talk-show shrinks will discuss the trauma of low-rent names like Kmart Smith and Shoe-Town Jones...
