Sergienko, who has been pursued by the Montreal Manic and the New York Cosmos of the North American Soccer League, has also been superb. "Peter has been the finest sweeper to pass through Harvard since I've been here," said Ford, who is in his seventh year as coach...

Silber accepted an invitation to attend last week. (A last-minute conflict forced him to send his deputy instead.) Of Bok Mitchell says, "We're hoping someday he'll accept our invitation. If the president of B.U. will come to a Harvard alumni group, there...
