...Bonaventure, while the individual title went to Iona’s Sean Curtin, who posted back-to-back scores of 72 to finish 2-over, one stroke ahead of Central Connecticut’s Matt McClure. Harvard’s ninth-place finish pales in comparison to the strong team showing last weekend at the MacDonald Cup, at which the team placed fifth out of a field of 25, and at the season-opening Mid Pines Intercollegiate in September, at which the team placed fourth and set a program record for its 54-hole team score. The Crimson has faltered...
...Worse War? In his discussion of Ken Burns' documentary The War, James Poniewozik made a ridiculous comparison of the war in Iraq with World War II [Oct. 1]. There have been no beheadings, death marches, starved prisoners or holocausts at Abu Ghraib. There are not millions dying in Iraq. Poniewozik is not subject to rationing or saving tin cans, and the females in his family can get all the pantyhose they want. The U.S. has not even instituted a military draft. By making this absurd comparison, he trivializes the sacrifices and accomplishments of those who lived through or died...

"It's a retrospective study. In that era, the patients who were the best candidates for treatment got surgery," says Dr. Patrick Walsh, author of Dr. Patrick Walsh's Guide to Surviving...
...scheduling opponents for Harvard’s existing JV teams (currently, most JV teams are lucky to have four or five games on their schedule). In fact, viable JV programs exist at all of the New England Small College Athletic Conference schools, whose size and financial resources pale in comparison to Harvard’s. Though with the last year’s opening of the Harvard Varsity Club’s resources to club sports it has become easier for them to fundraise among alumni, JV programs remain the only place where non-Varsity athletes can continue to compete...
