What we really need is a Baseball Hall of Names. So much melodrama and vaudeville echo in the monikers of old-time players: Lu Blue, Pebbly Jack Glasscock, Orval Overall, Baby Doll Jacobson, Heinie Manush. Sometimes a player finds a namemate from another era and forges a powerful link in baseball's memory chain. So this year let us induct Harvard Eddie Grant and Parisian Bob Caruthers, Goose Goslin and Goose Gossage, Rollie Fingers and Mordecai Peter Centennial (Three Finger) Brown. Not to forget those matching tabloid headlines, Urban Shocker and Country Slaughter...

The idea that bad guys are interested only in raw power, and dissuaded only by countervailing power, seems lost on him. At this rate, Clinton may soon echo the words of a President whose penchant for muddleheaded multinationalism he much admires. "A nation that is boycotted is a nation in sight of surrender," said Woodrow Wilson in 1919. "Apply this peaceful, silent, deadly remedy, and there will be no need for force...
Today, in Tercentenary Theatre, one of Eliot's greatest admirers is likely to echo his role model's message about universities as enduring institutions. And yet, in his annual address to parents, graduates and alumni, President Neil L. Rudenstine is likely to sound a cautionary note-to stress that we are now embarking on The Period That Will Make or Break Harvard's Future...
