WORCESTER, Mass.—The sport of football is a funny thing. On any given Saturday, it can giveth and it can taketh away. That was certainly the case for Harvard football this weekend, as it witnessed highs and lows before ultimately falling to Holy Cross (3-0), 27-20.“The bottom line is that we played hard, but they made a few more plays, and we made a few more mistakes,” Crimson coach Tim Murphy said. “And that makes the difference in the game.”Harvard...

Once on the other side, the bus pulls away from the Egyptian customs terminal, past Egyptian tanks, and into no-man's land before a sign welcomes you to Palestine. As the bus moved through the checkpoint, the Palestinians who had made it in began to applaud. They cheered and thanked God; others called relatives on their mobile phones. It was an emotional moment, yet paradoxical all the same, given that many might never be able to get back...
