Part of the reason for the Crimson being slightly banged up—its recent busy schedule—is yet another factor to balance. From Dec. 1 to Dec. 9, Harvard played a demanding slate: two games against Duluth, and one each against UConn, UNH, and Providence...
...these applicants—“legacies”—know today that their chances are a bit higher than their peers’. The application to Harvard College is not a short one, and that is for a good reason: There is no shortage of factors that the admissions committee examines in determining who gets in.

Although both Jefferson and Carter are African American, Carter, who had the backing of the state's Democratic establishment as well as the city's business community, was seen as the candidate of choice for the wealthy and the white - a perception that works against candidates in a city where thousands of displaced, mostly poor black residents are still struggling to get back in their homes. Here, too, Jefferson was able to turn his legal troubles to his advantage; for thousands of people who feel...
