...playing with every Saturday. Taking the advice of former Crimson players Carl Morris ’03 and Jamil Soriano ’03—both of whom have toiled on practice squads and in the NFL Europe—Fitzpatrick has endeavored to keep the future distinct from the present. The agents get deferred to his father, while the subject of the NFL has been off-limits between Murphy and Fitzpatrick since day one of this season...
Brown tied Harvard last season for second in the League, and will again have to be dealt with. There will be a distinct offensive void following the graduation of guards Nyema Mitchell and Tanara Goldston, first- and second-team Ivy picks, respectively. Senior 6’5 center Holly Robertson had 11 points and 6.6 boards a game in 22 minutes of action last year, and will have the chance to step up as the No. 1 scoring option. In the backcourt, junior Sarah Hayes is a capable floor general, and was among league leaders in steals, and remarkably, boards...

Yeah, that's great. You know how she found the cure? Apparently she looked at the cancer and scared it away...
...Terror as-is only serves to deepen the anti-Americanism that almost instantly turns into anti-Israel sentiment and action. The insistence that the two countries join at the hip benefits neither. The increasingly mobilized anti-Israel and anti-American movements are not responding to the same stimuli. As distinct countries with distinct histories and locations, Israel and the United States deserve to be analyzed and understood in their own contexts and for their own actions. Neither Israelis nor Americans, nor the Jews who inhabit those categories, benefit from erasing Jewish, Israeli or American specificity. Why lend ourselves to conspiracy...
