...went just 5-9 in league competition last season, one of its wins was the only blemish on the Crimson’s otherwise spotless Ivy slate. After winning a thrilling opener at Dartmouth, the Crimson was a little sluggish out of the final exams gate in late January, dropping an eight-point decision in New Haven. Harvard reeled off 12 straight wins following that loss, but the “L” in its loss column just wouldn’t go away. For the first time in this year’s young Ivy season, Harvard will...
...advertising blitz, the Government department has found itself with a dramatically reduced number of concentrators as compared to recent years. This is part of a continuing trend in which it seems many undergraduates are opting to leave the social sciences in general for more diverse academic endeavors. Though a drop in raw numbers may be disappointing for the Gov department’s marketing crew, we believe that this reduced concentration size is a good thing.

And that wasn't the only suggestion Sarko's presidency is deflating. New polls confirm the precipitous drop in Sarkozy's approval rating, from his near-record high of 65% in July 2007 to 41% this month. That low matched the February 1996 score of former President Jacques Chirac, after a bitter three-week national strike derailed a proposed pension reform - and led to the left's return...
