Batting leadoff in CBS’ Monday night two-hour comedyfest is the best show of the four—the underrated ‘King of Queens,’ still going strong in this, its eighth season. Star Kevin James has the kind of comic timing and delivery that’s unique on TV these days; while he’s no Michael Richards, as you may have seen in ‘Hitch’ he is a very adept physical comedian, combined with his verbal chops. He’s joined...
This Monday, seven Harvard seniors gave up on a dream. Team Zebra had schemed to transport two live zebras to Harvard Square by midnight on Oct. 17 in order to raise money for natural disaster survivors. But Monday marked the eighth and final day of Team Z’s altruistic attempt at animal acquisition. Should have been easy, right? Apparently not.

Had the team succeeded, their anonymous sponsor?...
...days of competition to finish 11th out of 45 teams, 35 strokes behind tournament champion, the University of Rhode Island. Hynes stepped up in his role as captain to record the Crimson’s best individual performance with scores of 75 and 74, while finishing tied for eighth overall at five over par.

But someone found a loophole in the phone rule, discovering it was very specific about not allowing wires from the outside world into their houses. They can't use electricity from public-utility grids either, which you would think would mean having...
...Harvard varsity heavyweights started their fall campaign in familiar fashion, taking home first place at the Stonehurst Regatta in Rochester, N.Y. The win marked the eighth time the heavyweights have won in Rochester, with 2005 marking the sixth consecutive Stonehurst victory for the Crimson. Facing a strong headwind, the Crimson eight shared the lead with Brown throughout the first mile of the three-mile course but pulled away in the later two-thirds of the head race. A minor seat malfunction with 30 seconds remaining allowed Brown to gain a length on the first-place Harvard boat. The Crimson overcame...
