However, the expression "we may have lost the battle, but we won the war" comes to mind. Short of a miracle, the Crimson has no chance of finishing the season at the top of the heap. But Harvard can take a small victory out of its pair of heart-breaking losses...
...they are in a constant atmosphere of anxiety, whom we owe the greatest sympathy and concern. They deserve better--better than the vicious Israeli war-machine, better than despotic Syrian colonialism, better than the cheap slogans of myopic Muslim nationalism proclaimed by Hizbollah, and better than the arrogant and short-sighted Realpolitik of Pax Americana...
Cora Dulz is a psychiatrist who needs her head examined. She is sexually frustrated and has just lost two patients to suicide.

These short bursts will eventually replace the shows themselves, allowing viewers at home the chance to watch their favorite comedy character make faces, dance a jig and convey a warm sense of familiarity, without all the boring stuff in between. This will, however, also lead to the extinction of the "comedy writer...
