...years at Harvard, James Freeman Clarke, Class of 1829, recalled with no little ire that the Faculty subjected the students to a daily drilling in which "no attempt was made to interest us in our studies." The new century brought a fresh crop of (apparently) benighted undergraduates, and as late as 1963 yet another committee of Overseers to study Harvard’s teaching fellow program had unearthed "a considerable amount of uninspired, inexperienced, and weak teaching...
...support for intervention by our allies, could have averted World War II. Are we proud that it took the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, and a German declaration of war against the U.S., for us finally to enter the war against Hitler?

...city woke up into a crisp, cheerful winter morning, fresh white powder finally coating streets after weeks of freakishly warm weather. And as frigid sunlight gives way to snowflakes swirling in punishing wind, I am watching an outdoor soccer match. In the field, the forward - No. 10 - slides on the fake turf, losing a bright orange football to an opponent. Frustrated cries burst from a gang of dedicated sexa-to-octogenerian fans. "Strike it! Oh my God! What's he doing?!" the men holler, bundled in heavy coats. Some of them have been following this once-famed Prague club, Slavia...
