After three years of playing second skipper on the Harvard sailing team, senior Kyle Kovacs finally got a chance to step into the spotlight. And boy, did he shine. The former captain of the Crimson squad racked up honor after honor in his final season, capping the fall campaign with a victory at the NEISA Singlehanded Championship. With the departure of his longtime training partner Clay Johnson ’07, a four-time winner of the NEISA singlehanded event, Kovacs stepped up admirably and kept the title in Cambridge for the ninth straight year...

"Did you see Jody leave early? I wish I had a kid." This kind of talk permeates every single work environment. Everybody's judging everybody else. It's one reason why flexible work arrangements don't work: if you're on one, it's a sludge generator. Boy, did you hear Lisa is on flex time? I wish I had a kid. You get passed...
