...could return Harvard to its potential that had already led the Crimson to victory over the likes of Boston University and Cornell. Time and again in this losing streak, Harvard had fallen thanks to crucial missteps—a slow start, costly penalties—and an inability to convert chances on offense. Instead of embarking on a massive overhaul, Donato stressed the importance of avoiding the little mistakes and winning individual matchups on the ice. By the close of the season, Donato’s squad had transformed itself into a threat to win the conference by generating what...
...heading off devastating climate change--and to sidestepping out-of-sight oil prices along the way--is to improve technology. We need good alternatives to fossil fuels, not the ersatz variety in which we convert corn to ethanol and then face soaring food prices. We need to harness vast amounts of solar power and start storing the carbon dioxide emitted by coal-fired power plants underground. We need green buildings that demand less energy for heating and cooling, and automobiles that get vastly more miles per gallon...
