Boarding the 5:30 flight at 5:50, they get up to green ticket number 82! So close and yet so far. My heart picks up the beat, in anticipation of a miracle, but to no avail. The herd mumbles that we should have taken the bus or train. Loyalists and optimists disagree with these dissenters, citing horror stories of eight-hour train rides with enough bodies in the car to cause a fire hazard and odor alert. A Harvard student declares, "It is times like these when you wish you went to Columbia...
Harvard would get the ball back one more time in The Game, but possession was to little avail. Yale took full advantage of the Crimson's turnovers to rattle off 17 unanswered points in capturing its third straight Game. The win now gives the Elis the all-time edge in the series...

But the moments of genuine introspection, however subtle, always seem to outweigh the contradictions...
...Nike marketing execs, with upswept hair, lipstick and mascara. One Argentinean lifter even had a tiny diamond in her nose. And some of them really are babes. Huge babes. (OK, I saw a couple of hairy armpits, but no moustaches.) But it's to no avail. The beauty is in the raw power. (See TIME's upcoming Notebook section for another reason why makeup on these ladies is beside the point...
