...defense was forced to work hard in the first half while the Crimson struggled to get things going offensively. With the exception of two shots fired on goal in the first half by Sheeleigh—one a left-footed rocket that Golding was just barely able to fist over the crossbar—the team was forced to spend a lot of time on the defensive. Harvard’s defensive backs, however, were up to the challenge, allowing only one shot on goal in the first half. Leone called his team “a resilient bunch...
...said. O’Hagan helped take some of the pressure off sophomore running back Cheng Ho in his first career start, running or passing on 41 of Harvard’s 70 offensive plays. Six different receivers got in on the action, and his timely carries—including a touchdown on a key fourth-down conversion in the second quarter—helped the Crimson to a 14-0 first-half lead.

"We had plenty of opportunities, and we just have to focus on finishing," first-year coach Ray Leone...
...subprime debt market. And in Hong Kong, Goldman Sachs issued a warning recently that some of the biggest mainland Chinese banks that trade on the Hong Kong exchange - including the Bank of China - were also exposed. In early August a spokesman for the BOC had said its first-half losses tied to subprime investments were "minimal." But in the wake of the nasty BNP Paribas surprise half a world away, investors everywhere were understandably - and increasingly - skeptical. Did top management at any financial institution anywhere really know the extent of the damage? Did regulators...
