...Crimson (16-4-3, 13-4-3 ECAC) moved up to No. 2 in the U.S. College Hockey Online poll this week. After falling to No. 5 Dartmouth for the second time this season two weekends ago, Harvard won its second-straight Beanpot title by beating No. 7 Northeastern in overtime, 4-3, then upset No. 1 Brown in Providence last Saturday...
...with every new poll from South Carolina last week, Engler's behind-the-scenes work seemed to be increasingly in jeopardy. On Wednesday, after a long day of campaigning for Bush across Michigan, Engler realized that rebellious Republicans may not be his only problem--or even his main one. At a cheerleading dinner in Muskegon (his second on behalf of Bush that night), Engler held up a letter from the newest force in Michigan politics: an outfit called DOGG (Detroiters Out to Get even with Governor Engler).

The reason politicians usually don't court the youth vote is because they have a very low turnout. Better...
Forbes' real contribution to this year's campaign has been to show that lucrative spending cannot develop a constituency. In the Iowa straw poll last August--although no delegates were at stake--Forbes spent $160 per vote. He ranks close to Ross Perot and Michael Huffington among wealthy men willing to spare no expense for their political ambitions...
