...note at the beginning of the original edition of “Inherit the Wind,” which premiered in 1955, states explicitly that the Jerome Lawrence and Robert Edwin Lee’s play is not history. Sure, names were changed, characters had been added, and I had to admit that Clarence Darrow, whom I had idolized, was probably not nearly as dashing as Spencer Tracy, but the plot itself stayed relatively true to the infamous 1925 Scopes Trial over the teaching of evolution—leading me to believe that the evolution debate was what the play...

Then the Crimson committed the first of two horrendous turnovers against...
After guard Edwin Buffmire snaked through the lane for a layup to pull Princeton (6-12, 4-1) within four with 55 seconds to play, Harvard freshman point guard Drew Housman, facing withering full-court pressure, attempted to toss a long pass down court to Cusworth. The seven-footer reached high in the air, but a collision with two Princeton players knocked the ball into the hands of Tigers forward Kyle Koncz...
