When one wants to see a championship-caliber squad, there is no need to look any further than the Harvard softball team. Winners of the 2008 Ivy League North Division title—and runners-up in the Ivy League Championship Series—the Crimson has a great amount of all-around talent. This year, the players are not willing to settle for second-best like they had to last season. They are ready to go all the way and reclaim their title.“To lose to [Princeton] in the Ivy championship was just heartbreaking...

The Encore has five restaurants, including Switch, which features a contemporary surf-and-turf menu but whose selling point is that its walls automatically change out like set decorations to give the room an entirely different look every so often. Impressive, if pointless. There's a steak place called Botero that displays works by the Colombian artist and a more modest joint called Café Society. We dined at Wynn's signature restaurant, Sinatra, named for ole you-know-who, a Wynn pal. If you like Sinatra's music...
