Unlike most of the Crimson stars on the court, Laura Robinson made the first start of her Harvard career in her 72nd game. In the 2005-06 season opener at Depaul on Nov. 18, she scored zero points in 22 minutes, missing all of the four shots she attempted. Unfazed, the 5’7 point guard from Fremont, Calif., went out the very next day against Alabama State and scored 18 points on 6-of-11 shooting.

Much of this investment is surely sound. Some of it just as surely is not. As the global credit cycle tightens, some of the more marginal investments will quickly become unsustainable. If at that point, central bankers were...
...entail: They deprive private property owners of control over their own assets—calling them “public” smoking bans is quite a misnomer. Forget antiquated notions of private property and tolerance—rabid left-wing activists happily march around under “zero tolerance” banners, proudly advocating complete intolerance of a victim-less crime...
