...biggest bones sticking in the craw of the Harvard administration is that The Crimson has always been able to decide for itself exactly how to vary that mix of stories.

Your Graces ... we are hideous not only in their sight, Monsignors, but in their nostrils." Ricardo, the mercenary Mexican pilot: " 'How it happened,' he said. 'Listen...
...anything," the coach finished, "just stick it in your craw and start again." Like against Dartmouth, in Hanover, in four days, when the sun might even make an appearance, because for now, it haint no use to grumble and complane, when God sorts out the weather and sends rain...
