...Ace of Hearts might have been Jonathan B. Durham ’04’s best draw yet at Harvard—for him and for the nine other members who compose the Ten Man. The other members of the famous, or infamous, Currier Ten Man suite give Durham full credit with their head to head victory against the one other ten-person blocking group in Currier vying for the coveted suite this year. By picking that card, Durham secured the pad for his 8 friends from Currier, and the 6 who joined as transfers from Quincy House...

A high school teammate recalls his wiry, 100-lb. friend as "well-mannered, disciplined and studious." Yee earned a ticket to West Point, from which he graduated in 1990.

Though all hip-hop does this in a sense, Ace brings the topic into relief. The title track is a distorted dirge complimented by the arrhythmic plucking of an acoustic guitar. Before long the beat skips and stalls, as if some digital demon in the stereo were trying fervently to spin the disc the other direction. Later, over a beat that features an incessantly...
Maybe Hudson’s finally found a team he can dominate in the playoffs. Last season, the A’s ace was southpaw Barry Zito. Yet, he only pitched once in Oakland’s five game series against a Minnesota team stacked with lefties. This year, the A’s will make sure their best have two chances to pitch. Hudson’s been phenomenal all year long. And in his one performance against Boston, he threw a nine-inning, two-hit, one-walk shutout...
