...doom the twin monoliths of the Science Center and (soon) the Humanities Center to eying one another balefully across Harvard Yard forever. Students and professors alike must try to promote a new academic desegregation. If, every once in a while, each English major did a few integrals and each CS major wrote a haiku or two, the result would not just be a proliferation of bad haikus and incorrect integrals, but also a more interesting intellectual environment...

Genes and social forces may conspire to turn people into addicts but do not doom them to remain so.

Again in the eleventh, Harvard's sloppy defense seemed to doom them, as the Crimson allowed Maine junior secondbaseman Keith Croteau to reach third with two outs on an error, a stolen base, and a wild pitch. Croteau was then singled home on an infield hit that deflected off the pitcher's mound. Maine was on top again...
