...word that Christine W. Dakin’s students, both past and present, use to describe her is “intense.” Petite, with delicate features and clad in a festive red sweater, this adjective seems inappropriate upon a first glance of the famed dancer. But one look into her bright eyes, perceptibly curious and insistently alive, and it is easy to understand their impressions. Dakin is currently a Fellow at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, and will be performing with the Harvard Contemporary Dance Ensemble this weekend. When asked how she would introduce her solo...

The band’s been branded as a Live-Aid relic, the forgotten child of the first MTV audience. Those mantles...
...four touchdowns. Even running back Cheng Ho ’10, one of three backs the Crimson featured, outran McLeod. So many breaks went Harvard’s way that it would not be hard to imagine that divine powers were assisting our crimson and white-clad warriors in smiting Yale. When Pizzotti fumbled a snap, Harvard still got a first down. When Pizzotti made a rare error and threw the ball to a lucky Yalie, it was bobbled—straight into the open arms of a Harvard receiver. And when, with only a few minutes left, a Yale...
