...Fame, Lee enjoyed a stellar career in the Crimson singlet. As a junior and senior, the four-year standout capped his two All-American seasons by finishing fourth in the NCAA championships at 123 lbs. Since that time, only three other Harvard wrestlers have equaled or surpassed this feat, the last of which was Jesse Jantzen ’04, a three-time place winner. Lee also punctuated his career with a 1951 AAU National Championship at 125 lbs. The two-time Crimson captain returned to his alma mater in 1956 to continue his leadership efforts as a coach. After...
...Even in the best of times, staging an Olympic Games is an extraordinary feat. Hosting thousands of athletes and millions of spectators takes billions of dollars in investment to pull off. But with public and private funding under heavy strain in the global downturn, it's hardly the ideal time to be putting on a show. China lavished some $40 billion on last year's Beijing Games. These days "we are in a mode for lean games," IOC president Jacques Rogge said in December. (See pictures of the Beijing Olympics...
...Obama name is golden right now in book land. The President is leading the hit parade: Dreams from My Father and The Audacity of Hope are on both the New York Times' hardcover and paperback best-seller lists, no mean authorial feat. (Dreams is No. 1 on the paperback list after a staggering 133 weeks.) Books by more than a dozen other authors on the Times lists retell the tale of the Obama campaign, evaluate the man or set out his life story. There's no mystery as to why new Obama books keep popping up in the nation...
...home. The series of losses was all too similar to last year when Harvard opened Ivy League play by falling in seven games before it finally earning a victory against Princeton last Feb. 22. The Crimson tied for last in the conference in the 2007-08 season, a feat that none of the players would like to see repeated. A fifth straight loss to a Bears team that had yet to win an Ivy matchup could have sent Harvard down a similar disappointing path this season, but the second half heroics prevented a slide equivalent to that of last year...
...this day two decades ago, Polish patriots took on the world’s largest army and succeeded beyond their wildest dreams, eventually toppling the Communist regime in Warsaw. They achieved this feat not through violent revolution, but through a series of negotiations that became famous as the Round Table talks. The defeat of Communism in Poland—which was soon followed by its total collapse in Eastern Europe and, in 1991, the Soviet Union itself—should properly be regarded as one of the greatest triumphs in European history...
