...Saturday night in New York City, it seemed as if youth was indeed the only thing worth having. And the Harvard women’s basketball team, armed with the Ivy League’s finest freshman class, had more of it in a rookie-led 86-71 victory for the Crimson (12-14, 8-5 Ivy) over Columbia (5-21, 2-12). Harvard’s freshman tandem of guard Emily Tay and forward Katie Rollins erupted for 44 points—24 and 20, respectively—to spark the Crimson’s second-half effort against...
...Vendetta is that it's a terrific movie. I love the look and the verve of the thing, the confidence of its epic design, its smart use of half a dozen noted British thesps, lending weight and wit to the supporting roles.

Both soloists are prominent members of the Harvard Radcliffe Orchestra and the Brattle Street Chamber Players. Aaron L. Berkowitz...
...Canadians prevail, men's hockey gold would cap what is shaping up to be one of the country's finest winter performances ever. There were certainly high expectations. The Canadian Olympic Committee (coc) brazenly targeted third place in the overall medal standings--likely requiring 25 medals, compared with the 17 that Canada took home four years ago. Canada might not make it, especially after several failure-to-convert performances in the Games' opening days. As the unfulfilled expectations initially piled up--as when all four female snowboarders failed to qualify for the half-pipe final, or when Emily Brydon finished...
