...Engineers] were less effective,” Farrar said. “We traded goals for a little while, but we had a big surge.” Indeed, the Harvard defense allowed only two goals in the second half. “We got in a position of control and we didn’t relinquish it,” Farrar said. Voith also added two scores. After giving the Crimson the lead in the first quarter, he struck again as time expired in the third frame, catching a high crossing pass from the left side and firing...

...despite the celebratory aspects of this giant party, its hard not to be reminded of the vast, Orwellian machinery of control underlying the Party's rule. The specter of robotic ranks of soldiers marching past stone-faced leaders on the reviewing stand is an example of how Beijing often reveals an image of China that is completely at odds with the vision of a modern, peaceful nation the government is normally at pains to portray to the rest of the world.
