...Even those who liken Harvard and Yale to twins have to admit that no twins are truly identical. For instance, some twins have different genders or different personalities. Other twins are separated at birth and then reunited in Shakespearean comedies. So, what makes John Harvard different from Eli Yale? Personality? Gender? Or something else altogether, like Eli’s birth defect...
...Killers (none of whom make Eli’s top 10; he’s too busy listening to Beethoven), and favorite movies: “Little Miss Sunshine” (#1, Yale’s #5) and “Fight Club” (#2). Admittedly, he and Eli have similar taste in movies—six of the ten titles are the same. But unlike Eli, he enjoyed “Love Actually” and “The Shawshank Redemption,” and felt that “Crash” was edifying, but also...
...life, as he wrote in his college essay. Some of them changed it multiple times. In his spare time, he reads modern classics with long, paradoxical titles like “The Unbearable Lightness of Being.” Also the Bible, although not quite as often as Eli does.

...meantime, the Eli will almost surely move to 7-0 tomorrow. This matchup is shaping up like a slasher flick: Yale’s top-ranked running game, averaging four touchdowns and upwards of 300 yards per game, slashing through the helpless, shrieking, league-worst Lions defense, which routinely lets opponents top 250 yards rushing. Mike McLeod, who has already sewn up Ivy Player of the Year honors, had a subpar afternoon last weekend--147 yards and three touchdowns in a triple-overtime win at Penn...
