...hard, because it feels like we make one adjustment and take one step forward in one aspect of the game and then something we thought we’d improved upon failed.” Against the athletic Badgers, it was the defense that couldn’t contain one of the most athletic backcourts in the Big 10. Anderson and Banks had 32 first half points between them, and Wisconsin shot a blistering 59.3 percent from the field in the opening frame. Harvard responded on offense with a 45.0 percent clip on the night, but untimely breakdowns...
...much it’s easy to just give them one move and go around them.” Spurred on by a home crowd that seemed more full of middle-aged men than college students, Vermount aggressively defended Harvard’s perimeter attack.

However, Harris never fully confronts Nazism’s explicit incompatibility with spiritual faith or the fact that it was based on a commitment to science and method much resembling Harris’ own ideal...
...trying to break down our narrow parochial barriers,” Herchel Smith Professor of Molecular Genetics Andrew Murray said. Murray also said that professors should not reject the “what does it mean to be a human being” requirement simply because it could contain both science and humanities courses.“This entire division between the categories, the critique that you can’t mix and match them...is everything that’s wrong with academia,” Murray said. Simmons said the task force will release its final recommendations...
