...another fine free agent acquisition’s career burn out, and Harvard faces the arrival of many a freshman for whom endless open houses and Annenberg ice cream are cold comfort in the face of a newfound anonymity amongst fellow lifelong standouts. Both departing Yankees great Alex Rodriguez and, by his own admission, UC President Ryan A. Petersen ’08 nearly cracked under such pressure upon first arriving. Only after these crises did each go on to distinguish himself. They illustrate the peril of newcomers facing an adjustment that the finest clubhouse amenities and undergraduate dorms...
...victory. In the breaststroke, Rathgeber came in first with a time of 2:06.04. He was closely followed his teammates, freshman Justin Davidson, freshman Mike Polino, and sophomore Simone Melillo. Harvard dominated similarly in the freestyle. Junior Eric Lynch placed first with a time of 4:35.42, with sophomore Alex Meyer and freshman Douwe Yntema following quickly mind. Lynch also won the 1000-yard freestyle in 9:28.77. This race, along with the 500-yard freestyle, earned him the distinction of garnering the most individual wins on the day for Harvard.

And how could it be, given the soaring contracts of the past decade that culminated in the 10-year, $250 million deal the Texas Rangers gave to Alex Rodriguez in 2000? But it's those very same stratospheric salaries - and in particular the new deal that A-Rod and his agent-provocateur Scott Boras are reportedly seeking (how about $350 million over 10 years?) - that has much of baseball suddenly speculating about a return of the illegal practice...
...Smith only half-jokingly suggested a little collusion might be in order considering how much A-Rod was seeking. And when talking about A-Rod's hefty demands, outgoing Atlanta Braves general manager John Schuerholz told a radio interviewer: "I think it's obnoxious. I admire and respect Alex Rodriguez as much as any ballplayer that has played the game. But for someone to suggest that this is a valid salary level for a professional athlete, no matter what kind of voodoo economics they can do in analyzing the books of MLB, it's absolutely asinine.
