Environmental activist William E. McKibben ’82 implored Harvard affiliates this week to recognize the imminent dangers of climate change and push for an international cap on carbon emissions.“In this past year, this has gone from ‘This is a big problem’ to ‘This is a big freaking emergency,’” McKibben said at one of a series of campus talks. “Climate change is happening on a way faster and a much larger scale than we thought it would...
...even write with the tip angled up - against the nearest wall at the airport, say, scribbling directions.

Bush has argued that a global climate deal is meaningless unless the big developing nations are required to take action, but China...
...momentum, having strung together a 7-2 run in just three minutes prior to the play. But Harvard was able to answer, as Boehm lobbed a great pass into Wright, who laid the ball in over two defenders, drew the foul, then unleashed a resounding yell to cap off the play.After nailing the free throw and then grabbing the rebound on the other end, he passed up to Kenyi. The guard then kicked the ball over to an open Boehm, who caught, shot, and drilled a three from 24-feet out.Game, set, match: Crimson freshmen.“I couldn?...
