For better or for worse, winning has become so regular for Boston fans that it is now fully expected, and anything less than a championship is a disappointment.This year, the same expectations are starting to creep into the mind of the Harvard fan—at least, this Harvard fan. After the hockey team beat Cornell on Friday, I somehow knew that a victory over the favored Bulldogs was forthcoming.

On Friday, Chuck Douglas, a former New Hampshire Attorney General, personally delivered, on behalf of the campaign, a strongly worded demand that the state investigate a series of scurrilous push polls that have been targeted at Romney's Mormonism.
