...More striking than several hundred students selflessly giving up food??fasting might be uncommon at Harvard, but charitable gestures are not—was the Muslim call to prayer, the adhan, issued through the Yard from the Widener steps...

What if you and thousands of others at Harvard took just a tenth of a pound more brisket than you managed to eat—you might...
