...field wall this time. Boston College 6, Harvard 4. And as the day wore on, with two out and two on in the fourth, Murphy blasted the yellow ball for the same long ride over the same center-field wall. Harvard 7, Boston College 6. And on that same epic day, with Harvard ahead, 10-9, in the seventh, it was Murphy who knocked in two insurance runs to end Boston College’s hope for a rally. The Crimson won the game and Murphy solidified her spot on the top line of opposing teams’ scouting reports...

...been to frame the hunger strike as the conclusion of an undefined and amorphous, but very, very long struggle. In the words of one supporter, the strike is “the final resort in a FIFTEEN YEAR (mostly losing) battle against an unconcerned administration.” This epic figure, however, is a deceptive slight of hand that bears no relation to events in Cambridge; simply put, the continuous 15-year struggle never occurred. SfS’s own timeline says that students “began to call [the University’s] policy into question?...
