...this speculation leads to the conclusion that Fire Joe Morgan is the best thing to come out of Harvard since the forward pass. In a time when the Hall-of-Famer Morgan can claim, during an online chat, that no one that hasn’t played can teach him anything about baseball, and still be taken seriously as an analyst when a GM with little-to-no on-field experience (Yale grad Theo Epstein) has recently constructed a World Series-winning juggernaut, one often needs a little perspective—and humor—to deal with the insanity...
...Japan (which calls the islands Takeshima) and South Korea (which calls them the Dokdo) these rocks carry a symbolic importance that belies their practical insignificance. Both countries have claimed the islands as their own for more than a century, and in recent weeks the historic squabble has leapt once more to the forefront of bilateral relations. The dispute flared in mid-April when Japan announced it would send two unarmed survey ships to the area to map the sea floor in advance of an international meeting in June, at which South Korea was expected to propose Korean names for underwater...
...recent months, thanks, apparently, to the riots in the banlieues last fall and the government's capitulation to the protests over labor-market reform last month.

...meters more aggressive.The if-onlys abound, but they won’t do much to bring the Goldthwait Cup back to Cambridge for the fourth consecutive year.The Harvard varsity lightweights’ surge in the final 500 meters proved too little, too late in a failed attempt to claim the Goldthwait Cup in dual competition with Princeton and Yale on Saturday. An open-water win from the Harvard second varsity and the second freshman eight’s win gave the Crimson its only victories of the day, as Yale snatched the Goldthwait Cup from its recent home in Newell...
...University of New Hampshire’s Wildcat Invitational. While the non-scoring event this past weekend proved to be a stable stepping stone for the Crimson women, the Harvard men were saving their best for Heptagonals. Freshman Favia Merritt set the standard early for the women, claiming two of the Crimson’s seven first-place finishes. Only .04 seconds behind, freshman Brittan Smith earned second after Merritt in the 200-meter race. Smith later snagged the top spot in the long jump with a distance of 5.22 meters. After following Merritt in the No. 2 slot...
