...play. “The team showed some strength,” senior co-captain Scott Denenberg said. “Gideon [Valkin] had a close match, Ashwin [Kumar] had a good win, I had a close match, Dan [Nguyen] had a close match. A few of those flip-flop or we win a doubles point, and the match could have gone the other way.” After a slow start for Harvard, the outcome of the match seemed to be up in the air when the competition received a jolt of energy from a fire alarm that went...

I believe that his career hiatus was actually planned not only because of his extraordinary earnestness...
