...Crimson could not put the game away, even after Brandeis went cold from the field and the Judges' main scoring threat, center David Brooks, took a seat on the bench after a cut above his left eye refused to stop bleeding. Harrington's 10 points, and eight each from starting forwards Andre James and Everardo Greenaway kept Brandeis close...

...oxygen going out of the U.S. economy and Japanese collectors scared by the descent of their stock index, the fall sales at Sotheby's and Christie's are jolted by a major shake-out in the art market. Top-quality works still command good prices, but the overhyped contemporary field suffers a massacre, with many offerings going unsold. Moreover, the decline casts new doubts on the competitive tactics of the auction houses...
