...James Trapp of the Atlanta Falcons, who was a defensive back on the 2000 Baltimore Ravens championship team. They aren't paid team salaries but usually fall under the managerial rubric of "player development." (At least one, the chaplain for the Chicago Bears, has an office in the training complex.) Financial support comes from their outside work, and players are free to contribute to those ministries, if they choose. The chaplains say the strong faith of many of the coaches and owners creates favorable working conditions, allowing them a wide degree of access...
...scene that recasts this moment of blind, frozen protection in a hilariously surreal mode occurs when Steve and Lindy become friends after their plastic surgeries and wander around the surgeon’s building complex at night. At one point, they find themselves on the stage of a convention room by the catering table, when one of the organizers opens the curtains and comments, “It’s a man.

Meanwhile, Harvard occupies a peculiar position...

For many, Harvard was being too conservative even in the boom years; now it is more fashionable to criticize the university for its profligacy. The Allston project, with its new science complex, for example, was hailed as visionary—until the financial crisis put it on hold. Even the Boston Globe editorial admits the complex “will transform Allston” when it can be built. Such decisions are easy to call foolish after the fact, but they were sensibly...
