...amazing,” Crimson coach Tim Murphy said after the game. “We were really appreciative of the response that the student body and the alumni gave for this game.” Some football lovers, however, said that the crowd at the storied colosseum was weaker than they anticipated. “I expected a little bit more, that people would come out for the novelty,” said David C. Hawkins ’60, who has attended hundreds of games at the stadium as a season ticket holder. “It?...

Letter-writing campaigns against the death penalty are constant; Parlia-ment declarations denouncing the punishment frequent. Just down the road in Rome, the Colosseum is regularly illuminated to honor death-penalty victims, and before Summers, Italy had twice allowed men executed in the U.S. to be buried in its soil. Says Caterina Calderoni, a Milan music teacher who'd campaigned on Summers' behalf since 1998: "America is still a young society, and some values...
