Political observers suggest that immigration law will be one of the areas where a Democratic Congress and a Republican White House may be able to reach consensus. Before they do, they should flick on a TV. They would see that you can pass laws and put up walls but it is much harder to erect a fence around your culture. (Just ask the French.) That while borders need to be protected, new blood is what makes this country the maddening, fantastic free-for-all that it is. And that what makes Betty ugly is, in the long run, what makes...

Except this time, the flick would be titled “Gone in 34 Seconds,” which was all the time senior running back Clifton Dawson needed to score the game’s opening touchdown.On the first play from scrimmage, Dawson broke through on a handoff from the shotgun and streaked 74 yards for a touchdown, giving Harvard (6-1, 3-1 Ivy) all the cushion it needed in a 28-0 blowout of the Big Green...
