...most disappointing games of the season in its Friday matchup against archrival Yale, but the ugly performance on the court was just one component of an overall depressing night at Lavietes Pavilion. With sub-zero winds in the forecast and the Harvard student body in post-exam hibernation, the crowd on Friday night was as dull and lifeless as ever, drawing out any remaining life-blood from a supposed rivalry game that pitted a 5-10 Yale squad against an 8-8 Harvard team.

Conservatives who would condemn it." OK, so it's not the same crowd who will be racing the see Shrek the Third, but, as a friend of Devor's told him, 'Finally you made a commercial movie.'" Those curious about zoophilia may be disappointed by the, er, logistical questions that Zoo fails answer. But it won't be hard to find people curious about zoophila. You did read this...
