...country, California.The Crimson started weakly at the Spieker Aquatics Center in Berkeley, Calif., on Friday evening, not scoring until 14 seconds before halftime, when Voith put the team’s first goal in the back of the net. Harvard had its best quarter in the fourth, albeit against the Bears’ B-team, outscoring Cal, 2-1. Livingston, Ludwick, and sophomore Sean Mitchell joined Voith in the scoring column. The team views the weekend as a learning experience, having played against some of the best teams in the nation. “The goal of this weekend...
...toward Pilbeam’s announcement is bizarre. The University is a multibillion-dollar corporation subject to the rules and regulations of the United States, Massachusetts, and Cambridge, all of which enforce the legal drinking age of 21. Through the party grant, the College knowingly funds such illegal activity, albeit indirectly. It is completely reasonable that the higher-ups at Harvard might wish to avoid a lawsuit or public relations nightmare. At the core, student outrage on this front stems from a conflation of the issues—students may legitimately take issue with the nationwide drinking age, but this...
...figure and peppering his guest with pointed questions, Bollinger showed the true nature of academic debate: that all are free to speak but none are free from scrutiny.The controversy surrounding an invitation to an Iranian president is not alien to Harvard, which last year attracted similar ire, albeit on a smaller scale, for hosting Ahmadinejad’s predecessor Mohammad Khatami.

Andre 3000 delivers a tightwire flow over a beautiful Motown sample, and you remember that Outkast is very, very good. Then the drums kick in and the track turns into boilerplate, albeit well-executed, Southern rap, and you remember that this isn’t actually an Outkast song. The cognitive dissonance between sweet music and rough lyrics in the last three quarters is mildly disturbing, but start the song over and everything’s alright again. Grade: B Kanye West...
...Yushchenko-Yanukovych coalition - with Tymoshenko leading a strong parliamentary opposition - might even resolve Ukraine's ongoing political tug-of-war. Yanukovych's PR has grown into a party of big business that, all the lip service to Russia notwithstanding, wants to open up to the West, albeit not as rapidly as Yushchenko desires. Nor has Ukraine done too badly despite the political turmoil: the economy has grown at an annual rate of 7.5% in the first six months of this year (versus 5.5% the same period last year), says Alla Kovtun, a Kiev-based economist. Its currency stable, and foreign...
