After a dominating 194-106 victory over Princeton and then a 146-72 pounding of Pennsylvania yesterday, the team can now bask in the glory of another Ivy title. The only thing left to conquer is the Eastern Championships, to be held at the end of this month at Brown University. There, the Crimson will have an opportunity to avenge its loss to Yale and grasp the bragging rights of the league...
There might be far fewer suicides if we did not, as a society, harbor the collective fantasy that Mark Twain plays out so effectively here: that we can attend our own funerals and bask in the sanitized images of ourselves that inevitably emerge after our deaths. If we could get it through our heads that death is the end, the final and irrevocable cessation of consciousness--that there is no grand curtain call where everyone will be sorry and we will be able to revel in having "showed them"--perhaps we would not be so quick to volunteer...

On grass either you are quick...
...long history. Many dates of our holidays are quite arbitrary. There is no reason to think February 14 is the real Valentine's Day. There is no "deadline" for love. Love respects no timetable, no petty human conceptions of time. Every day can be Valentine's Day. Bask in the glory of love 365 days a year...
