...downward spiral that only gets worse the harder you try?is familiar to even amateur athletes. For golfers, it can start with the yips, an uncontrollable twitch of the arm or an involuntary snap of the wrist at just the wrong moment. For a pitcher, it's the strike zone over home plate that suddenly begins to jump around. For the basketball player, it's the hoop that has inexplicably shrunk...
...growing more attractive. Tariffs on parts have declined lately, and logistics costs should decrease as China's transport infrastructure improves. Last year Honda became the first foreign automaker to set up a major export operation, shipping a compact to Europe from a plant in Guangdong's special, duty-free zone. Chrysler plans to build its 300-model sedan in Beijing for domestic sale and possible export (although not to North America, where autoworkers would probably object). GM and Volkswagen export small quantities too, such as Chevy Venture minivans to the Philippines and Polo compact cars to Australia. A Chinese supplier...
...Crimson’s 91-76 loss to archrival Dartmouth at Laivetes Pavilion on Saturday was an educational one for an inexperienced Harvard squad.

But for the final 15 minutes, Harvard (4-10, 0-1 Ivy) switched to an aggressive man-to-man defense that forced Dartmouth (8-3, 1-0 Ivy) away from the three-point line and kept the Big Green off of the offensive glass...
...Crimson’s first half struggles, however, put the game out of reach before the halftime buzzer even sounded. The intensity of the man-to-man in the final 15 minutes only emphasized further just how permeable the Crimson’s zone was in the first half. The best perimeter team in the Ivies, Dartmouth began the game 4-of-5 from the arc and kept heating up throughout the opening frame. By halftime, the Big Green’s Jeannie Cullen—who was a combined 9-of-18 from three point range in last year?...
Dartmouth completely destroyed the Crimson’s zone defense in the first half, swinging the ball to find the open shooter before Harvard could react and using cross-court skip passes to exploit the holes on the perimeter. When Harvard did close out in time to prevent yet another dagger from beyond the arc, Dartmouth’s guards fired an entry pass to the low-post for forward Sydney Scott...
