Harvard's front four are as battletested as its linebackers are unproven. A host of juniors including Jason Hughes, Chris Smith, Tim Fleiszer, Chris Schaefer and Brendan Bibro team with senior left and Mike Kent to form the Crimson's deepest and most talented unit. With a total of eight sacks last season, Bibro, Smith and Hughes are Harvard's top pass rushers, while the 6-5, 250-pound Kent excelled against the run, racking up 52 tackles...

...walls and shrines, infecting every aspect of social and political life. In her immensely erudite chronicle Jerusalem: One City, Three Faiths (Knopf; 427 pages; $30), Karen Armstrong, British author of the best-selling A History of God, delineates how, quite literally, the stones of Jerusalem came to embody the deepest faith and identity of the three religions of Abraham: Judaism, Christianity, Islam.
