Starting Five

1. As many as 125 Harvard students, including senior basketball co-captain Kyle Casey, are being investigated for allegedly having cheated on a take-home final exam. The course? “Government 1310: Introduction to Congress.” Introduction? It sounds as if they’ve already met.

2. Andy Roddick Murray, Grand Slam winner? As a matter of fact, yes. Murray lost the third and fourth sets badly to Novak Djokovic at the U.S. Open before winning in five. The British Scottish tennis star becomes just the second man to win a Slam since 2005 Wimbledon who is not named Djokovic, Federer or Nadal (Juan Martin Del Potro, 2009 U.S. Open, is the other).

Begbie, Sick Boy, Spud and the gang salute you, Andy

3. The eleven-year anniversary of 9/11, which is not the only massacre of innocent U.S. citizens on American soil to have occurred on this date.

4. Baltimore Ravens crush the Cincinnati Bengals, 44-13, and surge past USC in the polls.

5. From WWE to EKG:  Jerry Lawler, 62, suffers a heart attack in the ring during a Raw event. No, it was not staged.

Tom Brokaw’s special report for NBC News on the evening of the 9/11 attacks. Those of us who were in New York City that day will never forget anything about that day, from the unbelievably sublime weather (just like today’s) to the eerie silence that draped the city as the sun set. Excellent work by David Bloom, who would die just over two years later from a pulmonary embolism at the age of 39.

Alleged teacher-student affair at highly exclusive all-girls Upper East Side prep school Nightingale-Bamford.

Is there anyone out there who does NOT want to see Roger Clemens go all Sally O’Malley on National League hitters before September ends? “I”m fifty years old and I like to pitch, pitch from the stretch, AND pitch! I’m fifty!”

And we thought Jamie Moyer would be the oldest man to pitch in the majors this season.

The average Goldman-Sachs employee may soon fall out of One Percent and into the less fashionable Two Percent. There may be no room at the (Waverly) Inn for you now.

Jon Stewart skewers Fox News’ convention coverage.

Anyone for the “Fragile Five?” Two members of the U.S. Women’s Gymnastics teams are injured during a performance last weekend.

Once upon a time — 50 years ago– Robert Allan Zimmerman (this guy) released his debut album, “Bob Dylan.” Yesterday Mr. Zimmerman released “The Tempest“, which Rolling Stone gave five stars. Many other reviewers have been less kind to the 71 year-old balladeer. The title track is 14 minutes and 43 verses — without a chorus — on the sinking of the Titanic. What rhymes with iceberg?

Someday in the not-too-distant future we will unveil Medium Happy’s All-Aptly Named Team. Shoo-ins for the inaugural class will be Brian Cashman, Steve Jobs, Chris Moneymaker and, of course, this man, who was just awarded $20 million in a dispute with “Girls Gone Wild” creator Joe Francis. Joe, you gotta know 1) when to walk away and 2) when to shut up.

By the way, feel free to nominate your own All-Aptly Named Teamers…

The transcript of David Letterman’s monologue on his first night back at “Late Show” after the 9/11 attacks. Dave is No. 1 on my list of performers in my lifetime —Chumbawumba falls a distant 2nd — because while he mocks what deserves mocking, and that is much of our culture, he is sincere when the occasions merit it. This monologue, for example, or at the end of this performance by The Heavy, where he is clearly enthralled with their talent.
