...Crimson had fallen to its neighbors from the south the first three times they had met that season. But none of those games were as important as this one, taking place at the semifinals of the College Water Polo Association Northern Division Championships in Harvard’s own pool. The Crimson had to win to guarantee itself a spot at the Eastern Championships the next week, and if tensions were not high enough, Harvard had to live down losing its previous three meetings with the Bears, as well as having suffered a blowout by Hartwick the previous night...
...only six games at home this season, it is fair to say that those six games were the defining points of the year. Clear-cut victories, comebacks that fell short, strong freshman play and intra-league troubles characteristic of the 2009 campaign all occurred within the confines of Blodgett Pool through the course of six games. The Crimson witnessed a slight decline this season as compared to last year, putting forth a 10-14 record after breaking even at 12-12 in 2008.

...what has changed? Gallup attributes the new numbers to Republicans' purifying their views: 70% now call themselves pro-life, up 10 points in a year. But that's to be expected; when fewer people call themselves Republican, the party condenses into a pool of true believers. It's the people in the middle who are constantly weighing which restrictions are reasonable. A new Pew poll finds that while a majority of independents said abortion should be legal in most cases as recently as October, just 44% do so now. This may inspire some introspection on the part of political operatives...
