...This year’s Game is my first one in Cambridge as a student, and I’ve never looked forward to it more. I have distinct memories of recent games, having attended 14 of them with my father and his Class of ’79 friends since I was four years old. Each iteration has been a little different: from tailgate restrictions to final scores, the Game always changes...

...perhaps the most extraordinary turn has been his recent conversion to the cause of full independence for Tibet - standing apart from both his father and the Dalai Lama. Thirty years of negotiation have been fruitless, he says, and China has not made any effort to acknowledge the demands of the Tibetan people for autonomy. "There is a generation's difference between my father and myself," he says. His father is an old-school diplomat, while Thondop isn't shy about openly criticizing the current Chinese leadership. He calls them "a bunch of cheats and liars" for denying that Deng...
