Kopko and his brother Matthew Kopko, a sophomore at Princeton, founded DormAid last spring to offer professional cleaning services for dorm rooms on both of their campuses.

...allowing more goals in a game than it had all year. The Blue Devils continued to swarm on offense, and Stopford struck again quickly once play resumed, doubling up with an assist from midfielder Laura Suchowski a little over four minutes into the half. Midfielders Julie Tromp and Marian Dickinson wrapped up the scoring for Duke, tallying goals at the 50:19 and 66:29 mark, respectively. Despite forays into the Blue Devil circle and a couple penalty corners, the Crimson could not manage to level a shot at goalie Caitlin Williams. Duke out-shot Harvard 26-0, and worked...
...that was a part of my poem, "Who Am I," which basically describes me. I was born and raised in Miami, Fla., by my Haitian parents Marie and Dany Nemorin. Poetry is a big part of who I am.

...narrative frame of Lillian is the day in 1961 when Hellman sat in deathwatch near the bedside of her longtime lover, Novelist Dashiell Hammett. Luce's choice of moment is shrewd. Unlike the sequestered Emily Dickinson, Hellman was one of life's winners, blessed with fame, money, affection and what she seemed to seek most, a measure of power. Her childhood disillusioned her. But whose childhood does not? Her adult life was not marred by more than the normal share of grief. Only the ordeal of Hammett's last illness makes her vulnerable enough for an audience to like, despite...
