...another disadvantage that the Crimson faced coming into the weekend. “With finishing up classes and all the work at this time of year we didn’t get in all the reps we needed in practice and I think that was reflected to a certain extent in our scores,” Hazlett said. “There was definitely a little bit of disappointment with how we played. But really, any time you get the chance to play at the regional level like this you can’t be too disappointed...

...cello is something I was born with and beyond my control. Could I have overcome my lack of talent through discipline and hard work? Maybe, but not enough to scare Yo-Yo. In fact, picking stocks or trying to play the cello is a genetic test, to some extent. It's just one that doesn't require the drawing of blood. But we can't outlaw discrimination on the basis of talent. We don't want to.

In the 1970s, studies of a feral child, "Genie," who hadn't spoken with humans until the age of 13, helped to confirm several hypotheses relating to how language is acquired. Psychologists will likely be equally interested in studying the psychosocial development of the Fritzl children in such a deprived environment...

...some extent, liberal Catholicism has been a victim of its own success. Its positions on sex and gender issues have become commonplace in the American Church, diminishing the distinctiveness of the progressives. More importantly, they failed to transform the main body of the Church: John Paul II, a charismatic conservative, enjoyed the third-longest papacy in church history, and refused to budge on the left's demands; instead, he eventually swept away liberal bishops. The heads at Call to Action grayed, and by the late 1990s, Vatican II progressivism began to look like a self-limited Boomer moment...
