Harvard and Brown go way back in hockey; they have the longest running collegiate rivalry and, this year at least, that rivalry has been tipped decidedly in Brown’s favor. Before that 2-1 overtime loss in January, the Crimson set off on the wrong foot, beginning its season with a 2-0 loss to the Bears at Bright Hockey Center. Harvard discovered that night what the rest of the ECAC soon learned—the Brown Bears, long dependent on the goaltending of Yann Danis, had developed an offense to go alongside its all-world goaltender.

...Galigo, survives in thousands of fragmentary manuscripts and was written in an archaic Indonesian language that maybe no more than 50 people today are able to understand. It runs to some 300,000 lines?roughly 20 times the length of Homer's Odyssey?making it one of the longest literary works in existence.

...there may be another, more sensitive reason that Edwards is restraining himself. The real case against Kerry is a matter of character, not substance. Edwards hinted at it with his "longest answer" line: not only does Kerry have a flannel-mouthed inability to utter a simple sentence, but his orotundities also serve to reinforce the notion that the Senator from Massachusetts is a patrician stiff, too smug to speak in a manner decipherable by ordinary Americans. In fairness, John Kerry has been as sick as a dog these past few weeks and duller than he might ordinarily be--but there...
