...this is a young team,” Graves said. “And it’s exciting right now to have a young group of skiers to go up against this kind of competition.” A prime example of the youth emergence is freshman Jessica Alvarez. She was the alpine women’s team top finisher on Saturday, accomplishing a 37th-place showing in Giant Slalom. For the nordic squad, fellow freshman Katherine Maynard made her first ever start at the Carnival, placing 55th. Harvard’s effort is all the more impressive considering...
...time of 46:59.2. On the Alpine side, junior Katie Connor’s effort of 1:23.47 was good enough for 41st in the giant slalom, while her combined 2:18.41 landed her in 42nd in the slalom. Nipping at her heels in both events was freshman Jessica Alvarez, who finished 42nd in the giant slalom and 43rd in the slalom. The men’s team was plagued by accidents. Sophomore Matt Basilico had the best performance on the men’s side, with a combined time of 2:24.59 giving him a 40th place finish...

Governor Jeb Bush tried to shield his brother George W.

...Luckily for me, in late '44 [fellow Physicist] Luis Alvarez, who also wanted to get in the war, came up with the idea that we were neglecting our responsibilities if we didn't try to measure the yield of the Bomb while we were making it. Well, as soon as I heard about this, I went and pounded on Luis' door and said I wanted to play, and I became a member of his team. I knew that if I could handle measuring the yield, that I'd be going overseas. So did Luis. We knew too that we would...
