...janitors and students are doing is not civil disobedience. When Gandhi went to jail for protesting British imperialism and refused to eat for such a long time that he nearly died, that was civil disobedience.

The loss left Harvard (6-3, 4-2 Ivy) with the fourth seed and gave Yale (17-2, 5-1 Ivy) the third spot in the NISRA Team Championships, which start today at the Barnaby Courts in the Murr Center...
