He rescues Roberta Flack's The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face and Bread's truly horrible AM-radio hit If from years of accumulated treacle by tinkling out the barest hint of melody, confidently letting each note float around until it resolves itself in your head.

These titles, however, were all earned at a great expenditure of hard work and dedication, and are generally only given the barest of recognition in this paper’s sports page or on the athletic department’s website. For the record, the Harvard teams that won Ivy League Titles for 2004-2005 are: Baseball, Women’s Basketball, Men’s Heavyweight Crew, Men?...
