...they obviously don’t think about, when the football game is on, who’s watching football and who’s cooking dinner. 13. FM: When you and your husband left Harvard under President Larry Summers, followed by Af-Am Professor Michael C. Dawson, it seemed like a terrible time for Harvard’s Af-Am department. What was going on? MM: It was complicated. There were so many issues that were in play. I think in terms of African American studies, what we saw was there was a need for the University...
...single-season Ivy League marks for rushing yards and touchdowns. His final ledger—1,619 yards, 23 scores—still puts him in rarefied air in Ancient Eight history and within striking distance of some of the more illustrious all-time records held by Clifton Dawson ’07 come 2008.

And Eli quarterback Matt Polhemus completed as many passes to Yale receivers as he did to Harvard defenders, allowing Steven K. Williams ’08 to set career and season marks for interceptions. Then there was the Harvard offense: Quarterback Christopher F. Pizzotti...
...Last year Hollander and his gang silenced Dawson to make Harvard one-dimensional, then teed off on the immobile Pizzotti as he stood in the shotgun with a target on his back. There is little chance new running back Cheng Ho can take the pressure off Pizzotti where not even Dawson could...
