PROVIDENCE, R.I.—A failure to bear down on defense and an inability to protect the ball cost the Harvard men’s basketball team on Friday night, as it fell at Brown, 70-66. The Bears (8-16, 3-6 Ivy) burst out of the gate in the second half, shooting 58 percent from the floor after halftime to prevent the Crimson (10-13, 3-6) from putting together anything resembling a run until the final five minutes.

In a burst of emotion, committee member Alfred B.

Bring in the names of the people you want to cut. This...
Residents of New Quincy experienced a slice of rustic life last Thursday when a pipe burst and some 250 undergraduates were asked not to use running water for more than four hours. Junior and senior Quincyites, many of whom live in the House’s newer and larger building, and the resident tutors received an e-mail from Assistant to the Master Larry J. Peterson shortly before 6 p.m. on Feb. 8. The e-mail, with the subject line “URGENT,” announced “major pipe back-up problems” and urged...
