Who cares that it tiptoes right up to the edge of gaudy? Given the mediocrity of so much that has been crammed into the Manhattan skyline...
...member of the team on the track for all twelve hours of the event. The participants jogged, walked, and ‘wheel-barrowed,’ around the track that was decorated with luminaria bags spelling out the word “Hope” filled with glow sticks and adorned with dedications to and pictures of cancer patients that were lit up ceremonially at 9 pm. David S. Rosenthal, Oliver Professor of Hygiene and Director of Harvard University Health Services, as well as former President of the American Cancer Society, Harvard women’s basketball coach...
