...Nice short jumper by Lin to give Harvard its first lead. He can't really do much driving to the hoop against the giant redwoods, but he can settle quite well. Harvard 23, Yale...

In an interview with London's The Mail, Stanford's father, James, 81, detailed his son's many "outside wives," of which he said there are three, with four outside children.

There's a wet bar and a fridge for entertaining - we invited some friends over to share the view, and the room easily accommodated a dozen visitors. The bedroom has yet another giant screen that swings out from the wall - very important if you are going to watch a game from the whirlpool tub in the bathroom, where, once again, neutrals predominate. There's a large walk-in shower and a thoughtfully designed twin-sink vanity that can lodge every health and beauty...
