...also teach the virtue of patience: talent alone does not always assure victory—it must be cultivated, refined, and tirelessly practiced. And even then, all the innumerable variables that come into play in a match—just as in life—cannot be accounted for ahead of time. The outcome of a game then, while supremely important, is not the sole measure of the competitors’ worth—the ability to realize that in both sports and life is a virtue neither acquired nor honored often enough in this...
...they had left off the day before—this time in the sun rather than the rain—and defeated the rest of the field on their way to the team’s third straight tournament victory. Harvard’s 301 placed them four strokes ahead of the University of Texas at San Antonio in second place, and 10 strokes better than Yale, its closest Ivy League competitor. Junior Claire Sheldon led the way for the Crimson with a 73. Her round included four birdies. She also hit nearly every green in regulation...

We hope to see not only a bicameral consensus on this issue emerge before Congress adjourns next week, but more collaborative action in addressing the systemic energy consumption problems that plague...
...condemnation of American voters; I imagine these rules have governed electoral politics since democracy was first devised millennia ago. Indeed, I’d guess that this present electorate is as well informed about the lives and leanings of their candidates as any ever before. But as we forge ahead, worrying about global war and the ‘second Holocaust’ indelicately conjured by Sen. McCain, we should keep in mind that much of our decision-making process is far less grandiose than it may seem, that instead rests upon a blink and a synapse fired...
