...retreated into Boston. Behind them, Minutemen closed off the peninsula, camping 16,000 strong on Cambridge Common for months. When the soldiers needed barracks, Harvard agreeably moved to Concord for about a year. When the soldiers needed baths, they took them in the Charles River, often Sutton notes, "with disregard for modesty." General George Washington arrived June 17 to take command of the Continental Army in a ceremony on the Common...
Giamatti, I think, is rightly disturbed by the escalation of competitiveness at his own school and at many other Ivy schools in recent years.

Within this rigid constraint, the actors deliver mannered performances that are in several cases impeccable.

Black scholars say that Levine...
...VENERABLE and unwritten customs that determine the style and continuity of this paper would strongly advise me not to write an article in the first person. For purposes of this discussion, I will disregard the suggestion. Some observers might call the infraction self-indulgent at the very least, but those who understand the purpose of healthy dissent will accept it for the possibility it offers of doing some good...
