The Latest

A hectic, slightly hapless afternoon in New York is behind me.

Nothing beats a leisurely weekend brunch. I treasure these meals, these few hours, to the point of reverence. They are my religion, and my ritual is pretty set: tea, fruit, homework, Simon, Garfunkel and a table outside ABP.

They're candidates - and gentlemen

At last week's debate in West Philadelphia, mayoral candidates Michael Nutter and Al Taubenberger criticized Philadelphia's city government. They criticized Philadelphia's rising crime rates. They criticized the failing public-school system. One thing they didn't criticize? Each other.

Sprint Football: Tigers sprint coach defends Navy's tactics

If Penn sprint football coach Bill Wagner thinks he had it rough on Saturday, he should spend a day in Tom Cocuzza's shoes. The Princeton coach was on the wrong end of an 83-0 drubbing at the hands of Navy, the team that Wagner accused of running up the score in a 56-7 wipeout of the Quakers last weekend.


W. Soccer controls destiny, but it gets foggy after that

With the amount of parity in Ivy League women's soccer the past few years, it would have been nearly impossible to predict the champions coming into this season. As expected, two weeks remain in the Ivy schedule and the title picture remains unclear.
