...time in getting experience for the newcomers on Friday at Boston University, with the women downing Manhattan and Marist and the men defeating Manhattan and tying the Terriers. On the women’s side, the Crimson was paced by a pair of freshmen who placed ninth and 10th in the overall field. Thea Lee finished in 19:45 and Eliza Ives crossed the line in 19:46. In fact, all of Harvard’s top seven finishers were freshmen on the women’s side, including a 12th-place finish by Renata Cummins and a 17th-place...
...enough? A lot of Americans are quietly, and guiltily, asking themselves that question this week, as Sept. 11--the sixth Sept. 11 since 2001--once again approaches. A sixth anniversary is an awkward thing, without the raw feeling of a first or the numerical tidiness of a fifth or 10th. The families of the 2,973 people murdered that day need no calendrical gimmick to feel their loss, but a nation of 300 million--rightly or wrongly--is another matter...
...changed. After the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, in 1997, Princes William and Harry (then aged 15 and 12, respectively) marched through central London, their little heads bowed, toward their mother's funeral. Today, with the sun shining bright on the day of a memorial service marking the 10th anniversary of her death, things couldn't have felt more different...
...oversight, it's still jarring to think that U.S. soldiers may be stealing from the pot. But in recent days, an Army major--and his wife and sister--was indicted on charges of pocketing $9.6 million in bribes in exchange for contracts in Iraq. An Army captain with the 10th Mountain Division was charged after allegedly soliciting a $50,000 bribe. There are now 73 investigations into $5 billion in contracts that may have been tainted by--in addition to bribes and kickbacks--rigged bids, product substitution or double billing. The latest wrinkle is the apparent disappearance...
...August day in Edinburgh, and inside the city's Usher Hall the conductor Gustavo Dudamel is having difficulty with the strings. It is the final rehearsal of Shostakovich's Symphony No. 10, and Dudamel wants the violins to be more biting and caustic. Any successful performance of Shostakovich's 10th must reflect its historical context: Stalin's purges; some 20 million dead; a composer who lived in constant fear of the knock on the door. "Muchachos," Dudamel says, searching for the right expression. "Pop pop pop!" he says, mimicking the sound of a firing squad...
