...basketball team for the majority of this season was a four-and-a-half-year senior. Our star earned his degree in biology and earned his stripes in basketball through years of improvement. Other schools perpetually renew their stars and stalwarts and head into each season with a fresh crop of highly-touted freshmen. Duke, UNC, Arizona, and UCLA fans out there (I know you’ve somehow made it into Harvard) might be dumbfounded by this, but I’m happy that the stars of Crimson sports almost always stick it out through four years here, even...
...fact that he attracts some of the world's worst reviews only makes him more interesting. A relentlessly intelligent, funny, and kind writer, he's endlessly interested in stupid, humorless, cruel people, and in his new book House of Meetings (Knopf; 256 pages) he turns for a fresh supply of them to Stalin-era Russia. Ranging back and forth from frozen Arctic prison camps to the unseemly capitalist free-for-all of the post-Soviet era, House of Meetings is two love stories - one of romantic love, and one of the love between brothers - that are woven together, then crushed...
...Detention House. The pneumonia marked the beginning of serious physical deterioration. The prolonged lack of nutritious food, sunshine and fresh air made full recovery impossible and caused the body's aging process to speed up.

''We should go back to see what happens,'' the passenger said, unthinkingly. The driver lit a fresh cigarette from the one now burning down to his fingertips and drove impassively on, away from the violence. No, the shabab would think we had brought the army back with us. Anyway the driver knew, roughly, what would happen. The territories had been living for months in a rain of stones...
...followed their strong swims in day one with a 1-2 finish in the 500-yard freestyle. Junior Bridget O’Connor gave the Crimson another first place with a 55.89-second win in the 100-yard butterfly. In the dive portion of the meet, junior Samantha Papadakis, fresh off last weekend’s record-setting performance at Blodgett, captured the one-meter competition with 291 points and took second in the three-meter dive with 327.05 points. The event was Harvard’s last dual meet of the season, as the team will begin to gear...
